Innoveren Scientific's (OTCMKTS: IVRN) 510(k) Submission Sparks A New Hope For Patients Living With Chronic Non-Healing Wounds

An aging U.S. population with increasingly complex medical diagnoses has doctors and clinicians under pressure to diagnose and treat patients while restoring their quality of life. With the goal of doing just that, a life science and biotech incubator company is advancing a wound-healing product. 

Focused on advancing new technologies in areas of unmet need across multiple indications, Innoveren Scientific Inc. IVRN has completed a 510(k) submission for its SkinDisc^TM Lite and SkinDisc^TM regenerative medicine technology. The company says that what differentiates this technology from other regenerative products is the fact that it only requires one application to achieve healing in four to nine weeks and comes packaged as a disposable kit. 

This is a significant advancement when compared to current treatment approaches that require weekly applications and can take 12-20 weeks to heal. Generally, people have to apply treatment products every three days before they see any impact. With SkinDisc, only one application is needed. 

SkinDisc^TM was acquired by Innoveren Scientific in December of 2022. A breakthrough stem cell therapy technology, SkinDisc^TM has positioned the company to combat the rising prevalence of acute, chronic and surgical wounds with an effective and affordable treatment. As outlined in its submission, SkinDisc^TM combines stem cells from the patient and several other molecular components to stimulate tissue regeneration, which results in rapid growth of the host tissue. 

To best serve those who can benefit from this proprietary technology, Innoveren Scientific plans to work with surgeons, podiatrists and physicians to treat patients with severe trauma-based wounds and non-healing chronic wounds, which affected nearly 16.3% of Medicare beneficiaries in 2019, according to a recent study by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Those numbers are only expected to continue on an upward trajectory. 

Innoveren's recent submission to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is primarily focused on chronic non-healing wounds and burns, an area of medicine where current treatment options have stagnated. With patented or under-patented components, SkinDisc^TM has treated over 500 patients to date. Innoveren reports that early clinical outcomes of those who used SkinDisc^TM demonstrated significant results relative to current treatment options in wound healing and limb salvage. 

Innoveren Scientific expects to receive a response from the FDA by mid-May 2024 for both  SkinDisc^TM and SkinDisc^TM Lite.

This 510(k) submission is one of three the company has in its pipeline utilizing the body's own cells to achieve successful recovery of the patient. In the coming months, Innoveren plans to submit an application to the FDA for its SkinDisc^TM Ultra technology, an iteration that incorporates Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) and would only be available for use in operating rooms and limb salvage procedures; specifically in cases of severe trauma, infections or diabetic foot ulcers. 

In addition to SkinDisc^TM, the company also has BreatheEasy, a 510(k) De Novo pathway medical device that helps patients struggling with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as other closely related diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
