(Fort Worth, TX) --- HEALTHPOINT, Ltd. has announced that its novel spray delivery system for ACCUZYME® (Papain, Urea) Spray and PANAFIL® (Papain, Urea, Chlorophyllin Copper Complex Sodium) Spray has been recognized as a new medical technology by the Novation Wound Care Management Council.

          Novation is the supply company of VHA Inc. and the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC). Novation is committed to ensuring that VHA and UHC members have access to information about new and potentially innovative health care technology.

          According to Sarah Young, Product Manager of the Tissue Management Division at HEALTHPOINT, the spray dosage form saves time, and more importantly, reduces trauma to patients and their wounds.

          The ACCUZYME® Spray and PANAFIL® Spray delivery system gives health care providers a dosage form to spray onto wounds without the use of applicators commonly used with comparable ointments. The spray delivery form allows for fast and easy applications onto wound beds without running or dripping.

          “This spray system translates into a significant time savings for health care providers,” said Ms. Young, “and enables them to treat those hard to reach areas with less waste.”

          Upon application a small percentage of patients may occasionally experience a slight stinging sensation when using ACCUZYME® Spray or PANAFIL® Spray.
