New Study Reconfirms COMS® Effectiveness and Gives Insights to Potential New Applications for Wound Care

In the August edition of the Journal of Wound Care (JWC), a new study led by Jacques Neyens and his team in the Netherlands has further substantiated the promising outcomes of our initial research on COMS. This case series, involving 27 patients treated with COMS at the Expertise Centre for Wound Care (ECW) in Oosterhout, reinforces the positive results observed in our original pivotal trial and in real-world usage, demonstrating the effectiveness of COMS beyond the clinical setting:

”…COMS showed positive effect on wound healing in all etiologies of the wounds treated…”1

”The overall mean wound surface reduction was 69+-36%. Of the participants wounds: 12 were classified as complete wound closures in 12 weeks (50%); four as likely-to-heal (17%); four as improved healing (17%) and four as non-healing (17%).”1

“The mean value of feasibility was 9.3 +- 0.9, on a scale of ‘very hard to use’ =0 to ‘very easy to use’ =10. The confidence in the application was rated with a mean of 8.7+-1.0, on a scale of ‘very insecure application’ =0 to ‘very confident application’ =10.”1

In addition, several new findings presented by the authors stand out and deserve particular attention:

“The potential of COMS as a debridement tool in cases where sharp debridement is not feasible.”1

“The potential use of COMS for wound bed preparation (WBP) for subsequent skin grafting or skin replacement procedures.”1

“The best results were achieved in PUs and VLUs (respectively 100% and 62% categorized as completely healed).”1
