Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedDress, a privately held U.S. and Israel-based wound care company, announced today that it has secured a contract with Capstone Health Alliance, one of the nation’s largest regional group purchasing organizations representing 300 hospitals in all 50 U.S. states.
Chronic non-healing wounds impose a significant economic burden on the healthcare system, health care providers, and patients. The ActiGraft® system aims to deliver an affordable and efficacious wound solution to Capstone Health Alliance Members to help improve the health and lives of patients.
ActiGraft is the first wound care product that enables health care providers to produce—in real time— an in vitro blood clot from a patient’s own blood. Once applied, the blood clot serves as a protective covering and supports the body’s natural wound healing response. ActiGraft can be used for a wide variety of hard-to-treat chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, venous ulcers, traumatic wounds and post-surgical wounds.
“As part of our mission to support health care providers as they tend to patients’ non-healing wounds, our goal is to improve access to a quality, affordable, and efficacious wound care solution,” said Alon Kushnir, CEO of RedDress. “A contract with Capstone Health Alliance enables us to expand our network amongst one of the largest regional group purchasing organizations in the United States, allowing us to provide continued support to health care providers in the wound care industry.”
RedDress was awarded contract number # CAP-MM-146 in mid-July of 2021.
