Premier Shockwave to Exhibit at VA Healthcare in Oxen Hill, MD, May 14-16, 2018

SUWANEE, GA, May 7, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Premier Shockwave, Inc. is pleased to announce that the company will exhibit at VA Healthcare in the MGM National Harbor in Oxen Hill, MD, May 14 – 16, 2018. This will be Premier Shockwave’s first opportunity to present the dermaPACE® System since being selected by SANUWAVE Health, Inc. as its exclusive distributor to the Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare services market.

“We are excited to be exhibiting at VA Healthcare 2018. It is an honor to be able to help our Veterans and to bring a game-changing product to this market which will materially improve patient outcomes, and quality of life, for those suffering from chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The dermaPACE® will enable VA physicians to improve healing rates and outcomes. This will save thousands of dollars per DFU treated by the VAs.” Stated David Anderson, Executive Vice President of Premier Shockwave Wound Care, Inc. an affiliate of Premier Shockwave, Inc. He added, “Any physician who sees DFUs can prescribe the dermaPACE®, not only podiatrists, we expect to see interest from endocrinologists, vascular surgeons, foot & ankle orthopedists to have their nurse assistants trained to use the dermaPACE® on their patients in a wound care facility or an in-office setting.”

The Company is using this occasion to formally introduce their lead wound care product, the dermaPACE® System. This Focused Electro-Hydraulic Extracorporeal Shockwave Technology (FEHSW) device, has been proven in two US based clinical trials enrolling 336 subjects to be safe and effective in the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers.  Within a few weeks of initial treatment, wounds treated with dermaPACE® reduce in area at superior rates compared to control subjects. The dermaPACE® System exhibits superiority in wound area reduction within 12 weeks of initial treatment and exhibits superiority in wound closure within 20 weeks of initial treatment. The use of the dermaPACE® System allows the clinician to more easily, and more cost-effectively, manage wounds. More importantly, the patient’s quality of life improves significantly.
