Revolutionary Healing Technology for Treating Difficult and Chronic Wounds Approved by Health Canada

Toronto, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

Archimed, the woundcare
division of Insense Ltd., today announced it  has received approval
from Health Canada for the use of its revolutionary  Oxyzyme product
in the treatment of difficult and chronic wounds. Oxyzyme  was first
trialed in Toronto by Dr. Gary Sibbald, one of the world's  leading
wound care specialists, in 2004 by his team at the Toronto Wound
Healing Centres. The announcement was made at the 3rd Congress of the
World  Union of Wound Healing Societies taking place from June 4-8,
2008 at the  Metro Toronto Convention Center.
Oxyzyme is a biochemical system in a dressing that ensures the
oxygen  in the wound environment meets the diverse oxygen needs of
the cells  responsible for healing. Ongoing clinical programs being
undertaken in  Europe are showing that 20% of old, previously
unhealable wounds (3.5 years ) are now closing in six weeks or under
when dressed with Oxyzyme. Easy to  use by any clinical professional,
Oxyzyme will now soon be available to the  Canadian health care
system at a modest cost.
In conjunction with the announcement, Professor T.K. Hunt, often
cited  as the father of modern wound care, was awarded a lifetime
achievement  award by the World Union of Wound Healing Societies.
Professor Hunt's  insight and discoveries on the role oxygen plays in
the healing process was  the inspiration behind the development of
Oxyzyme.
"The real value of Oxyzyme is that it combines two agents -
iodine and  oxygen - that are essential to the process of wound
healing and provides  further opportunities to overcome barriers to
healing that may exist in the  patient," explained Dr. Keith Harding,
leading figure in the international  wound care community and also a
member of the World Union faculty.
