Commenting on the financial results Renaat Van den Hooff, president and chief executive officer stated, “The increase in operating expenses continues to be driven by costs associated with the commercial and clinical development of Altrazeal(TM) and Altrazeal(TM) Silver. These investments are necessary in order to give visibility to the clinical successes obtained with our Altrazeal(TM) products and to keep our future product development milestones on track”.

Recent accomplishments related to our wound care franchise include:

Altrazeal has been applied on an estimated 3,000 patients in treatment of a variety of wounds; with a significant number of these cases being well documented with data and pictures detailing the wound healing process;

Four posters have been published and over thirty abstracts for posters and oral presentations have been submitted and accepted to be presented at several prominent wound care conferences in the upcoming months;

To date, four articles with Altrazeal case studies have been submitted for publication in influential wound care journals.

Van den Hooff continued, “We are now in the process of working through the purchasing cycle at a growing number of institutions that have observed successful clinical experiences with Altrazeal(TM). In parallel we are in dialogue with the Food and Drug Administration related to the approval of Altrazeal(TM) Silver, and our research and development team is on track to finalize the development and regulatory submission for Altrazeal(TM) Collagen in the fourth quarter of 2009.”
