US-based regenerative medicine firm Tiger BioSciences, through its subsidiary Tiger Wound Care, has acquired Novo Health Care Service’s Encore HealPACK Solutions.
HealPACK is a family of advanced surgical dressing solutions, developed by Novo Health Care Service in partnership with Encore Surgical Supplies.
It is a premium line of surgical dressing products that enhances the post-surgery healing process from the comfort of the patient’s home.
With each patient-specific order, the product is shipped directly to the patient, enabling continuity of care, reducing confusion, and saving time and resources.
HealPACK comes with a dedicated app that supports the prescription and insurance verification process to order the product and documentation for reimbursement.
Encore CEO Miro Kesic said: “In a short amount of time, we have become a market leader in empowering physicians to deliver post-operative and conservative therapies for their patients.
“With a great team, advanced technology, and timely execution, Encore has delivered a superior platform to the market. This has resulted in the exponential growth and success of Encore Surgical.”
Encore president Neall French said: “The next phase in continuing to deliver constant innovation and enhancements, is to align the HealPACK with one the industry’s best, in Tiger BioSciences.”
HealPACK includes a variety of products, including collagen dressing, collagen powder, silicone composite dressing, and island composite dressing.
The collagen dressings are permeable and breathable collagen membranes designed to provide fluid control same as the skin and are flexible, pliable, elastic, and durable.
Based on their high surface area, Collagen powder particles can penetrate and deliver the maximum amount of collagen into the wound surface.
They are used in surgical wounds, dehisced surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous stasis ulcers.
The Silicone composite dressings serve as a secondary dressing to cover primary dressings, with a non-traumatic border, and provide an ideal cover for wounds of many types.
They are absorbent and help protect the wound from bacterial contamination or maceration.
Island composite dressings come with a non-adherent contact layer that covers the wound site and a soft absorbent pad to collect exudate from the wound.
Tiger BioSciences co-CEO Oliver Burckhardt said: “The HealPACK and HealAPP is a fantastic addition to Tiger’s already impressive Wound Care product offering.
“Encore Surgical Dressing will be a new division of Tiger BioSciences that will have access to our vast network of customers in the orthopaedic, podiatry as well as plastic surgery divisions.
“We are looking forward to the continuation of collaboration with Miro’s and Nealls’s team to ensure that more patients can benefit from our overall product offering.”
