• The European market counts ~9 million wounds in the initial indication areas

Diabetic ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns

• Approved also for other major wound areas

Post-surgery wounds, trauma wounds, lacerations, and abrasions

Europe represents ~1/3 of the total available global wound market

The partner process

  • The market evaluation study carried out by Smith & Nephew is delayed but still high interest
  • The data published in the UK posters from the sites included in the Smith & Nephew evaluation study support the strong data from the Norwegian survey
  • Biotec BetaGlucan continues its communication with Smith & Nephew to clarify the basis for a long term agreement while the study is being completed
  • The delay means that the exclusivity agreed with Smith & Nephew expires but has no other effect on the process
