Wound Management Technologies Appoints Dr. Blaine Farless as Medical Director of the Resorbable Orthopedic Products Subsidiary
(firmenpresse) - ADDISON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 10/14/14 -- Wound Management Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: WNDM), an emerging commercial stage company with its primary product, a patent-protected and FDA-cleared collagen product, CellerateRX®, today announced that the Company appointed Dr. Blaine Farless as Medical Director of the Resorbable Orthopedic Products subsidiary (ROP).
Dr. Blaine Farless, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with 27 years of experience remarks, "Bone bleeding during surgery has always been an issue and although bee's wax was adequate and easy to use, it prevented bone healing and created potential problems down the road. Next generation products did not cause long term problems but were difficult to use in addition to being less effective and more costly. The resorbable hemostat products in development by the ROP subsidiary of Wound Management Technologies appears to offer ease of use and cost effectiveness in addition to not slowing bone growth and avoiding long term problems. I am thrilled at the opportunity to work with the company as we bring this product to market."
Dr. Farless is currently practicing at the Cleburne Orthopedic and Sports Medicine but is also a staff surgeon at the Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Cleburne and the Glen Rose Medical Center, in addition to having staffing privileges at three other hospitals throughout the Fort Worth, Texas area. He is a member of the Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Texas Medical Association, Texas Orthopedic Association and Texas Sports Medicine Association. Dr. Farless completed medical school at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and holds an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering.
"We are excited to introduce Dr. Farless as our new Medical Director for ROP as he brings a wealth of knowledge in orthopedics in both the clinical as well as the surgical setting. Orthopedic surgery is a growth avenue for our resorbable hemostat products that are in the final stages of development. Dr. Farless is a champion of the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness that the product will bring to surgeries," commented Robert Lutz, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Wound Management Technologies.
