  CE mark approval for Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing

~ New product approval in Europe further strengthens AMS's global advanced woundcare range ~

Winsford, UK:   Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the surgical and advanced wound care specialist company, today announces that it has received CE mark approval for the Group's Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing, which sits alongside the US approval for this product (announced in July 2019 ). The product will be commercialised via AMS's network of woundcare partners and distributors in CE mark approved markets.

The PHMB Foam Dressing is a polyurethane foam impregnated with Polyhexamethylene Biguanide along with an atraumatic perforated silicone wound contact layer. The dressing is indicated for use in the management of various wounds including pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, post-op surgical wounds and burns. The product can manage wound exudate as well as microbial contamination and the atraumatic silicone layer reduces wound pain during wound healing and dressing changes.   The PHMB Foam Dressing has been shown to be highly effective against MRSA and a broad spectrum of microbes, with in vitro testing demonstrating total eradication of MRSA, MRSE, and E. coli within 24 hours, compared to market-leading silver products which failed to achieve this within seven days.

Chris Meredith, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Medical Solutions, said : "This new product approval in Europe for Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing further strengthens AMS's advanced woundcare portfolio in Europe and reinforces the fact that our R&D and Regulatory capabilities are a key pillar of our organic growth strategy."
