Arch Therapeutics, Inc. announced that as Arch transitions to a commercialization stage, in alignment with its strategic plan to rely on the expertise of third parties, it is launching AC5 Advanced Wound System through a distribution model. Arch has engaged and trained approximately one dozen independent sales representatives covering different territories, and it expects to continue to add additional independent sales representatives to enhance Arch’s commercialization efforts. The Company plans to support distributor and sales relationships with a sales director and clinical liaison(s), and is currently engaged with a strategic marketing firm to provide sales support materials.
AC5® Advanced Wound System is indicated for the management of partial and full-thickness wounds, such as pressure sores, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds. The product’s proprietary self-assembling peptide technology provides distinctive utility across all phases of wound healing. Applied via syringe, it provide a protective barrier that seals wounds of various shapes and sizes, while also serving as a scaffolding to allow for tissue repair. It also protects tissue, donates moisture and softens wound debris. Notably, a unit of AC5 Advanced Wound System covers more surface area than other advanced wound care products with which it competes.
Ongoing clinical activities support continued favorable results for the Company’s AC5® self-assembling peptide technology platform. Two clinical case report abstracts were submitted and accepted for poster presentations at the upcoming Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in May. The SAWC is the official meeting site of the Wound Healing Society and will engage over 1,500 surgeons, wound care providers and other wound care specialists in the vital role emerging therapies play in chronic wound care and prevention.
