CANTON, Mass. and LAS VEGAS, Nev. — This week, new data and information featuring Organogenesis’ FDA-approved bioengineered cell-based products Apligraf® and Dermagraft®, and wound management products PuraPly™ and PuraPly Antimicrobial (AM)™ will be presented at the Fall Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC), the nation’s largest interdisciplinary wound care forum, held October 7-9, 2016 in Las Vegas.

“As the nation’s leading developer of advanced wound care innovations and technologies, we look forward to demonstrating how clinicians are utilizing our versatile product portfolio to treat wounds across all phases of healing,” said Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President and CEO of Organogenesis.

Clinical presentations include award-winning research from a multidisciplinary team at the University of Miami that provides insight on what happens to a patient’s genomic profile when Apligraf is applied to a chronic venous leg ulcer (VLU), when compared to conventional therapy alone. The analysis found that Apligraf altered specific molecular and cellular responses in the wound environment, reversing the chronic wound profile to resemble more of an acute wound profile.

Other presentations include several new case series evaluating PuraPly and PuraPly Antimicrobial in the management of several types of wounds.

Additionally, product information will be available at the Organogenesis booth (#301) in the conference exhibit hall.
