Cost Comparisons
Better, Faster and More Efficient - Period!
Let's face the sad and disturbing truth - standard / conventional wound care and its' expensive products and machines are cash cows for an industry that reaps billions from Insurances, Medicare and You, for months and/or years of assisted care, surgical procedures, constant debriding (which in our opinion only makes matters worse) and dressing changes that go on and on indefinetly - often with no end in sight. We don't think that's right. Do you?

Plus many other Conventional/Standard & Alternative modes of therapy
with the same astonishing cost to material product weight ratios. Simply do the math yourself.
Example: We know a case where Medicare/U.S. Taxpayers (and this is not unusual), paid more than $350,000 to treat a single stage 4 Pressure Sore over 3 years! They tried everything; DermaWound closed it in 9 weeks and for $704.00.
It is highly unusual for any chronic non-healing wound (except a large Venous Stasis Ulcer of long standing duration) to need more than $300.00 worth of DermaWound. The average cost to treat a wound using our product is $135.75. Comparing all other modes of conventional clinical therapy, the national average cost to treat a non-healing wound in the U.S.A. is currently $6,350.00 and rising.
