The Wound Wrap: Why? • Laser and/or robotic surgery require several small punctures to the skin often too far apart to be covered by traditional bandages • Current wound care options are insufficient and require adhesive to be applied directly onto the skin • Significant rise in laser and robotic surgery in urology, plastic surgery, oncology, and other areas of medicine • Approx. 5.7 million patients a year in the U.S. alone are affected by chronic wounds • Chronic wounds are usually on hard to cover areas of the body like the foot or leg
The Wound Wrap: A Better Choice • Fully lined, disposable product that wraps around the body covering a larger surface area • Eliminates fluid leakage due to gravity and adhesive shifting • No more ruined clothes, linens, or great discomfort • No more adhesive pressure or pain on tender skin around wound or incision • Replaces current wound dressing methods that are not designed for chronic or laser surgery wounds • Both U.S. and Foreign Utility Patent applications filed through Russ Weinzimmer & Associates, P.C.
The Wound Wrap: How? • A larger enclosing bandage. • Robust cuffs to minimize leakage. • Layered to offset direct wound pressure. • Non-adhesive inner layer. • Highly-absorbent middle layer. • Leak-proof outer layer. • Various bandage shapes to enclose different parts of the body.
The Wound Wrap: How? • Strong adhesive strips & tabs along the sides of the bandage • Wraps around the wounded body part • Provides strong support without direct adhesive contact on the skin • Added benefit of bypassing uncomfortable bandage removal • Addresses all of the primary flaws of current post-laser surgery and chronic wound dressings
The Wound Wrap: Large & Growing U.S. Market • Domestic Wound Care is a $5 Billion+ Market • Anticipated to exceed $7.5 Billion by 2015 • Growing incidence of wounds linked to increasingly prevalent chronic conditions
The Wound Wrap: Large & Growing U.S. Market • The “graying of America” – by 2030, one of every five U.S. residents will be a senior citizen • Incidence of wounds, chronic & otherwise, linked to advanced age • The "Bulging of America" – epidemic rates of Diabetes and Obesity • Growing popularity of laser & robotic surgery
The Wound Wrap: Large & Growing Global Market • A $15 Billion+ Global Market • Well over half the market is non-U.S. • Western Europe, Japan, & other developed nations. • Most significant growth in emerging economies of China, India, & Brazil • Global Market projected to reach $20.3 Billion by 2015.
The Wound Wrap: A Strong Financial Opportunity • According to a 2008 Business Wire article: “Consumers of advanced, high-end adhesive bandages are generally less price sensitive and are more willing to pay higher prices to receive additional benefits from advanced adhesive bandages.” • The Wound Wrap is ideally positioned as a premium high-margin product. • The Wound Wrap is a significant and high-value advance in the wound care field.
The Wound Wrap: A Strong Financial Opportunity • Multiple channel opportunities – hospitals, doctor’s offices, pharmacies, nursing homes, rehab centers, etc. • Excellent way to capitalize on the growing popularity of laser surgery throughout the country and the world. • Already a proven product – does not involve large R&D expenses. • Simple & inexpensive to manufacture. • A low risk opportunity.
