Arch Therapeutics, Inc. announced an expansion of its contracted sales force with a dedicated team of independent representatives whose primary objective will be to support surgeons and other medical professionals as well as advance the commercialization of AC5® Advanced Wound System (“AC5”) in high volume government facilities. The Company is on schedule to add approximately fifteen independent commission-based sales representatives by the end of First Quarter 2023 dedicated to supporting AC5, Arch's self-assembling wound care product, in federal government agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), Indian Health Services (“IHS”), Department of Defense (“DOD”) and Medical Treatment Facilities (“MTF”). These additional representatives will be deployed to optimize opportunities in newly created sales regions and in current regions that have had initial and restocking orders for AC5.

AC5 is indicated for the management of partial and full-thickness wounds, such as acute and chronic wounds, including pressure sores, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds. Early data from its use in challenging wounds, including in those requiring aggressive debridement or in patients with significant co-morbidities, has been positive and presented by key opinion leaders at recent wound care conferences.
