Wound Treatment

The company has made a gel from OXYCYTE that it believes can be useful in treating wounds by supplying oxygen to injured tissue from the outside in. When a wound heals, the speed of healing is largely dependant on how much oxygen the key tissues get during their healing phase. The company believes that OXYCYTE can dramatically increase the speed of oxygen delivery, thereby increasing the speed of the healing.

The company has conducted safety studies and plans an FDA filing for clinical trials related to this indication in late 2009.

Dr. Bruce D. Spiess, MD, a member of the company’s board of directors and co-chair of the company’s Medical Advisory Board explains how OXYCYTE works in cases of TBI in these videos.
