SANUWAVE is using this occasion to further educate on our lead wound care product dermaPACE®. This Extracorporeal
Shockwave Technology (ESWT) device, based upon electrohydraulic principles, is CE Marked and has enjoyed success in certain
markets within the European Union treating a wide variety of skin conditions such as pressure ulcers, burns, post-operative
wounds, and scar reduction. dermaPACE has been proven, in two US based clinical trials enrolling 336 subjects, to be safe
and effective in the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Within a few weeks of initial treatment, wounds treated with
dermaPACE reduce in area at superior rates compared to control subjects. dermaPACE exhibits superiority in wound area
reduction within 12 weeks of initial treatment and exhibits superiority in wound closure within 20 weeks of initial
treatment. The use of dermaPACE allows the clinician to more easily, and more cost-effectively, manage wounds. More
importantly, the patient's quality of life improves significantly.
