REHOVOT, Israel, June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CollPlant (NASDAQ: CLGN), a regenerative medicine company, today announced that the results from a clinical study conducted with its VergenixFG advanced wound care product will be presented at the 29th Conference of the European Wound Management Association (EWMA).

The EWMA conference will take place from June 5-7, 2019 in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is one of the largest wound conferences in the world, gathering the European and international wound management communities with the common goal of improving patient wound care.

On Friday June 7, 2019, from 10.30 AM - 11.30 AM, Dr. Eyal Shapira from the department of Plastic Surgery, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Israel, will present clinical results published in Wounds, a peer reviewed journal focused on wound care and wound research. The abstract titled, "A novel recombinant human collagen-based flowable matrix for chronic lower limb wound management: first results of a clinical trial" presents data from a previously reported independent study conducted by physicians at several wound care medical clinics and hospitals in Israel. Data showed that VergenixFG resulted in 94% median wound area reduction within 4-weeks in patients with chronic lower limb ulcers.

"We look forward to participating at the EWMA conference and attending Dr. Shapira's presentation which will demonstrate remarkable wound closure rates achieved with single application use of VergenixFG. We will also have an exhibition booth where we will have the opportunity to interact with physicians, distributors, potential strategic partners, and to show our products. VergenixFG is commercially available in Europe, and we are expanding our distribution network to other territories," stated CollPlant CEO, Yehiel Tal.
