SANUWAVE Appoints Alat Medika Indonesia as Distributor for dermaPACE and Liaison to Clinical Trials Participation for Company’s Wound Care Product(s) in Indonesia

SUWANEE, GA–(Marketwired – Jul 20, 2017) – SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCQB: SNWV) is pleased to announce that the Company has appointed Alat Medika Indonesia as distributor for dermaPACE® and liaison for clinical trials participation for Company’s wound care product in Indonesia. The expected revenue from this agreement will be north of $1 million over the next three years.

André Mouton, V.P. International Sales and Relations of SANUWAVE, stated, “This decision to engage Alat Medika Indonesia was made to increase our focus and visibility within Indonesia for the wound care market. It is of the utmost importance that we partner with distributors that have influence and a good track record within the Indonesian market. It is well known that diabetes and related concerns need to be addressed within Indonesia and having access to outstanding technology such as SANUWAVE’s within the country is a positive step. We will need speedy access to potential clinical trials to ensure we add value with our product offering as well as clinical proven outcome. These factors will lead to faster market entry and closer ties with identified Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs),” concluded André Mouton.

Christian Hainsch, Chief Product Officer of Alat Medika International Group, declared, “Setting the ‘PACE®‘ in wound healing in Indonesia! A technical milestone in professional wound healing is coming to Indonesia. With dermaPACE, SANUWAVE developed an innovative medical device for patients suffering from diabetic wounds, ulcer or burn injuries. One of the major indications for the use of dermaPACE, and most important for Indonesia, is the treatment of diabetic ulcers. With dermaPACE the regeneration process of tissue from chronic wounds is increased and can be an alternative to amputation or medication based treatment. Diabetes and other patients benefit from a simple, painless and side-effect free treatment for faster healing and quicker recovery to improve quality of life,” concluded Mr. Hainsch.

SANUWAVE is using this occasion to further educate on our lead wound care product dermaPACE. This Extracorporeal Shockwave Technology (ESWT) device, based upon electrohydraulic principles, is CE Marked and has enjoyed success in certain markets within the European Union treating a wide variety of skin conditions such as pressure ulcers, burns, post-operative wounds, and scar reduction. dermaPACE has been proven, in two US based clinical trials enrolling 336 subjects, to be safe and effective in the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Within a few weeks of initial treatment, wounds treated with dermaPACE reduce in area at superior rates compared to control subjects. dermaPACE exhibits superiority in wound area reduction within 12 weeks of initial treatment and exhibits superiority in wound closure within 20 weeks of initial treatment. The use of dermaPACE allows the clinician to more easily, and more cost-effectively, manage wounds. More importantly, the patient’s quality of life improves significantly.
