SAWC Fall provides a venue to educate clinicians about AC5 Advanced Wound System, present case studies, and continue strategic meetings with wound care companies.
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arch Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: ARTH) (“Arch” or the “Company”), a marketer and developer of novel self-assembling wound care and biosurgical products, today announced that the Company’s commercial product, AC5® Advanced Wound System (“AC5”), will be featured at the 2024 Symposium on Advanced Wound Care Fall Meeting (“SAWC Fall”), which takes place at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, from October 2-5, 2024.
SAWC participants include doctors, nurses, and members of industry. Arch’s team will demonstrate AC5 Advanced Wound System at our booth (#334) in the main exhibit hall and elsewhere during the conference.
Another purpose of our participation in SAWC is to continue ongoing meetings with wound care and other life science companies that are interested in Arch’s patented wound care products and novel approach to wound healing.
Terrence W. Norchi, MD, President and CEO of Arch Therapeutics, said, “AC5 is a new and easy-to-use option for many doctors who treat patients in the operating room or in their office. With its self-assembly mechanism of action, AC5 provides a differentiated approach to the management of both acute surgical and chronic wounds. The potential importance of AC5 is underscored by the sheer number of people with non-healing wounds, thought to exceed 6 million in the US alone.”
On Friday, October 4, 2024, the following clinical cases, which further demonstrates the use of AC5 in patients with challenging wounds, will be presented during the poster viewing session:
Successful Management of Tunneling Wounds with the use of Synthetic Self-assembling Peptide Matrix.
By Dr. Misael C. Alonso, MD, FACP, CWSP, FAPWCA
Poster #C-007
A Pilot Study of Lower Extremity Wounds Utilizing a Novel Nanoparticle Self-Assembling Peptide.
by Eric J. Lullove, DPM, CWSP, DABLES, FAPWH(c), FFPM, RCPS (Glasg)
Poster #: CR-032
Norchi continued, “The clinical information presented at SAWC includes a pilot study that assesses healing time and potential cost savings when AC5 is used on complicated post-operative non-healing wounds as well as a case study that assesses management of a tunneling wound with AC5. These clinical scenarios add to the growing clinical experience with AC5 in wounds that are challenging for both patients and many currently available wound modalities.”
AC5 is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for the management of partial and full-thickness wounds, such as pressure sores, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds. AC5 is a synthetic self-assembling wound care product that provides clinicians with multi-modal support and utility across all phases of wound healing.
