Soluble Systems Launches New Smart Dressing, TheraGauze+FN

TheraGauze+FN™ Treats Moderate to Heavily Exudating Wounds

NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia (June 24, 2009) – Soluble Systems announces the launch of TheraGauze+FN™, a new product in their line of moisture-regulating wound dressings. TheraGauze+FN utilizes the same SMRT polymer technology found in TheraGauze™ but is fenestrated to treat moderate to heavily exudating wounds.

TheraGauze is a sterile proprietary polymer wound care dressing that regulates moisture differentially across the wound site. TheraGauze+FN is fenestrated (+FN) to allow excess exudate to pass through the dressing into a secondary absorbent dressing. TheraGauze+FN can be used with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) as the wound interface for precise moisture regulation and non-adherence.

“Wound care practitioners throughout the country have had great success treating their patients with TheraGauze,” said Allan Staley, President of Soluble Systems LLC. “They asked for a fenestrated version for moderate to heavily exudating wounds and for use with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, and we are proud to now offer TheraGauze+FN.”

When used as directed, TheraGauze and TheraGauze+FN remain moist and active for up to seven days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes. Just like TheraGauze, TheraGauze+FN will not macerate tissue or stick to the wound and leaves no residue. TheraGauze has received the prestigious “Seal of Approval” from the American Podiatric Medical Association, and is clinically proven to surpass even growth factor treatment for the closure of diabetic foot ulcers.

TheraGauze+FN is available in the 4.125" x 4.125" size for the same price as TheraGauze. For ordering and additional information, please visit http://www.solublesystems.com or call 1-877-222-2681.

Soluble Systems, LLC is the manufacturer and distributor of a line of advanced moisture-regulating wound care dressings under the brand name TheraGauze™. Patented Skin Moisture Rebalancing Technology (SMRT) gives TheraGauze™ the unique ability to differentially release or absorb moisture based on the underlying condition of the wound. TheraGauze™ is manufactured in a certified clean room environment pursuant to FDA regulations in Hampton, Virginia. Corporate offices are located in Newport News, Virginia.
