ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avadim Technologies Inc. (“Avadim”), the Bionome TherapiesTM life sciences company, announced today that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has added Avadim’s clinical brands for hospitals and the military to a medical device, supplies and services contract held by ADS, Inc. Theraworx® Protect is now a contracted product and available for use throughout the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The VHA is the largest integrated health care system in the United States, providing care at 1,243 health care facilities, including 172 VA Medical Centers and 1,062 outpatient sites of care, serving 9 million veterans enrolled in the VA health care program.
Steve Woody, CEO of Avadim said, “One of our highest priorities has been to gain the opportunity to fully serve our government, veterans and Department of Defense. This federal contract will enable all governmental entities to purchase Theraworx® Protect and Combat OneTM in the quest to improve the health and well-being of our veterans and help ensure troop readiness. Federal contracting is not an easy process and this win is a testament to the diligence of our clinical sales team, government sales team and our strategic government distributor, ADS. Products are not added to these contracts unless there is a perceived need for the innovation and the demand we are driving in military and civilian hospitals has paved the way. We are truly honored to serve those who serve us.”
Jason Wallace, CEO for ADS, stated, “We are excited to have Theraworx® Protect and Combat OneTM available on our GSA Schedule 65 II A contract. The response we have received from our customers has been tremendous and we are proud to bring this innovation to all government agencies. One of our goals is to expand the medical products portfolio we offer our military service members. Theraworx® Protect and Combat OneTM are clinically proven and help fill a need for our men and women in uniform.”
