Procellera Technology is the first of its kindmicrocurrent generating antimicrobial wound dressing Elemental Silver Imbedded in the dressing are wireless microcell batteries Elemental Zinc In the presence of a conductive fluid (i.e. saline, hydrogel, wound exudate) batteries are activated and generate microcurrents at the dressing surface
Today’s Environment … • More capital investment required • More time – less room for errors • More evidence required • More decision makers • Less investment capital available … calls for a different approach
What Builds Value For Stakeholders? • Potential market size • Clinical value • Patents • Margins • Share of market AND economic viability of technology
Today’s Strategic Outlook Partnerships may be KEY to future technologies Top / Bottom Line Growth Strategic Plans Tactical Execution Studies must aim at demonstrating BOTHclinical and economic value Technology Evidence Key hires and abilities needed at this stage Infrastructure Funding
