Pinneberg/Munich/Senden – 23.10.2023 – The treatment of chronic wounds can be challenging. Often the process drags on for months or even years. Older people are particularly affected. But now, affected patients can breathe a sigh of relief: the innovative and efficient therapy with cold atmospheric plasma (KAP) will be used on a large scale in home care and wound treatment with immediate effect. For this purpose, Viromed Medical GmbH as the exclusive distribution partner of terraplasma medical GmbH, which specialises in wound healing, as well as Wundex Group GmbH and its subsidiary MasterCare Medical GmbH are cooperating. Their common goal is to bring cold plasma therapy to the broad field of outpatient wound care. In doing so, MasterCare, as part of the Wundex Group, will increase and expand its attractiveness and competence as a wound care provider for doctors throughout Germany by offering and selling the innovative cold plasma therapy from terraplasma medical. As a result, significantly more patients in home care will be able to benefit from treatment with KAP in the future.
To kick off the cooperation, the first 20 of over 200 wound managers were equipped with the plasma care® medical products and intensively trained in their use at the training centre of the WundWissen Academy, a subsidiary of the Wundex Group in Hattingen, last Thursday, 19 October. Prof. Dr. Gregor Morfill, multiple award-winning German physicist, pioneer in KAP research and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Viromed Medical AG:
“Through the cooperation with the Wundex Group, this highly efficient therapy has now finally arrived in the breadth of outpatient wound care.”
Peter Orth, CEO and founder of the Wundex Group: “The use of this effective and innovative cold plasma therapy offers us and our certified wound managers the opportunity to raise our outpatient wound care to an even higher level of quality. In this way, we can not only help more patients, but also attract new ones.” Renowned market research firm Markets and Markets estimates that the global cold plasma market is expected to grow to $3.3 billion by 2026 – at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 15%. The growth can be attributed to the increase in the number of people with chronic wounds. The incidence is expected to increase as society ages and the need for cold plasma, which has been shown to be effective in numerous international studies, will increase.
