The “Any Wound” Enluxtra dressing developed and distributed by OSNovative Systems, Inc., can reduce healthcare spending on primary wound dressings by upwards of 30 percent, according to a new study.
The study, conducted at the Southwest Regional Wound Care Center in Lubbock, Texas, quantified cost savings from 70 percent reduction in primary wound-dressing inventory made possible by Enluxtra’s self-adaptive technology, which adjusts to the healing needs of any wound, in any stage of healing.
Standardization to the moderately priced Self-Adaptive Wound Dressing (SAWD) replaced dozens of products including primary foam; alginate; hydro- and hydro-conductive fiber; super-absorbent collagen; hydrocolloid; hydrogel; gauze; and combination dressings including silver-containing products wound contact non-adhering layers, skin preps and moisture barriers.
