(OTCQB: SNWV) ( www.sanuwave.com) announced they have entered North and South Carolina as their 5th and 6th markets in 2019, also hiring David Cummings to lead SANUWAVE in the Carolinas. SANUWAVE is excited to execute on their commercialization plan to enter into 6 states in 2019 by adding the Carolinas. David joins SANUWAVE from Integra and previously Derma Science, which was acquired by Integra in 2017. Mr. Cummings will participate and help SANUWAVE launch the dermaPACE System in the Carolinas this weekend.
SANUWAVE Health, Inc. is an emerging regenerative medicine company focused on the development and commercialization of noninvasive, biological response activating devices for the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures.
SANUWAVE is proud to be a sponsor for the Modern Wound Care Management (MWCM) meeting taking place April 26-27, 2019 in Greensboro, NC. The MWCM mission is to provide the highest quality continuing education experience to all clinicians who care for patients with chronic wounds. This event is a true interdisciplinary approach to wound care with input from multiple specialties. It is designed for more proactive audience participation and interaction with national experts in wound care, including physicians, podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists and other wound care modality providers.
David has been a Carolina resident for decades. President, Shri Parikh, comments, “David’s work in wound care, and the diabetic population, helped him significantly contribute to Derma Science’s rapid growth prior to being acquired by Integra. David’s work in DFU treatment as an expert in Total Contact Casting gives him a great deal of credibility among wound care professionals. David supported this clinical and market growth as an individual contributor, trainer and leader during his eleven-year tenure. We are excited to have him join our team and confident he’ll deliver equally impressive results.”
“We began 2019 with the objective of placing 100 devices. To achieve this, we are focusing on 6 states which cover 33% of the US population. These states were chosen based on three criteria: population density of diabetics, favorable insurance environments for new products and devices, and the ability of SANUWAVE to support and educate the commercialization roll out plan. By entering the Carolinas we have now entered all six states for 2019 and will now begin to place devices rapidly and educating and certifying our clinical users. As usage increases in these states we should begin to experience a positive reimbursement environment due to the strong benefits the device brings to treating DFU’s,” said Kevin Richardson, CEO.
