ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: INFU) (“InfuSystem” or the “Company”) and Sanara MedTech Inc. (NASDAQ: SMTI) (“Sanara”) announced today the establishment of a partnership, SI Wound Care, LLC (“SI Wound Care”), focused on delivering a complete wound care solution targeted at improving patient outcomes, lowering the cost of care, and increasing patient and provider satisfaction. The partnership is expected to enable InfuSystem to offer innovative products including Cork Medical LLC’s (“Cork”) negative pressure wound therapy (“NPWT”) devices and supplies and Sanara’s advanced wound care product line to new customers through the jointly controlled entity.
Richard DiIorio, InfuSystem’s CEO, stated, “Over the past few years, we have built our NPWT business as a turnkey solution with a focus on offering high quality options to patients and providers. We believe the wound care market represents a significant opportunity to drive revenue growth for our Integrated Therapy Services (“ITS”) platform by treating both chronic and acute wounds. Partnering with Sanara enables us to better serve patients and care providers nationally by offering a complete line of advanced wound care products.”
Each partner brings a differentiated and complementary offering to the companies’ combined solution:
Sanara - The Sanara team has significant wound care expertise in the acute care setting as well as throughout the entire continuum of care. Sanara currently employs sales managers with deep industry experience across the United States. Sanara believes its advanced portfolio of wound care products is complementary to NPWT services and can be used before, during, or after NPWT to remove microbes from the wound bed and promote healing.
InfuSystem - InfuSystem is a participating in-network provider for more than 770 health insurance networks covering over 95% of the U.S. population and has seven distribution centers across North America. InfuSystem can leverage this infrastructure to gain acceptance for the new products and services. Additionally, InfuSystem is a distributor of Cork NPWT devices and supplies in the United States and Canada. The partnership is expected to enable InfuSystem to offer new products and thereby reach new NPWT business throughout the continuum of care, from the hospital to the home.
Zach Fleming, Sanara’s CEO, stated, “NPWT is a key technology offering in the wound care market that has benefited millions of wound care patients. By pairing Sanara’s product line and deep expertise in wound care with InfuSystem’s existing NPWT business, including sales, distribution, clinical support, and revenue cycle capabilities, we hope to offer a compelling solution to a broader patient universe; offering significant value and improved outcomes for patients, providers and payers.”
