Highlights:

• 85% (intent to treat; p-value 0.0004 [N = 40]) and 94% (per protocol; p-value 0.00008 [N = 37]) healing rates with Geistlich Derma-Gide® vs 30% for SOC
• Mean healing time of 36.8 days for Geistlich Derma-Gide® vs 66.5 days for SOC
• Mean cost of healing of $1,731 for Geistlich Derma-Gide®

Highlights:

• Geistlich Derma-Gide® provides an optimized structure for cell migration and attachment.
• Growth factors bind to Geistlich Derma-Gide® and are preserved in an active state over time, while excessive MMP activity can be modulated.
• This in vitro data supports the promising healing rate observed clinically.

Highlights:

• At study conclusion, complete wound closure was achieved for 90% of the wounds (9/10 patients).
• Average time to complete wound closure was 2.7 weeks with an average wound size of 3.3cm².
• The average cost to treat the patients in the cohort was $1,203.
