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:
