Positioning & Commercial Strategy
- Woulgan is positioned for stalled wounds
- Literature defines wounds as stalled when they don't close by 40% after 4 weeks
- Estimated >60% of chronic wounds are stalled
- Positioning for stalled wounds allows Woulgan to show:
- more healing benefit versus standard of care
- stronger, positive clinician experiences
- Clear, clean and credible message on when to use and when to not use Woulgan across multiple wound types
Bioactive Beta-Glucan technology demonstrated ability to kick-start "stalled wounds" where healing slowed or stopped:
