Osiris Therapeutics’ (OSIR) launches TruSkin ™ as a human skin allograft wound care

November 2, 2015 9:02am

TruSkin provides a new option for treating large, chronic wounds in the hospital outpatient, private office, and/or surgical settings, where allograft options are limited and reimbursement pressures are high.

The Bottom Line: In the HOPD setting, product usage are usually bundled payment amounts. OSIR’s strategy is to ... fits within the Medicare bundled payment amounts.

OSIR closed at $17.03 which was UP +$0.60 on 10/30. Financial results will be announced on 11/6. OSIR is always subject to speculators “nibbling” the edges of appreciation. On dips - BUY

TruSkin is a split-thickness, cryopreserved skin allograft that is offered by Osiris to address unmet medical needs of chronic wounds. TruSkin retains the extracellular matrix, growth factors, and endogenous living skin cells of native tissue, making it an alternative to fresh skin allograft. TruSkin is optimally meshed to cover more wound area than competing skin allografts, while still allowing for proper wound drainage. TruSkin can be used to repair acute and chronic wounds, including but not limited to: diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and wounds with exposed bone and tendon. TruSkin will be available in multiple sizes and have a 5-year shelf life when stored at or below -40°C.
