ACCELERATING WOUND CARE WITH
ADVANCED UVC LED TECHNOLOGY
Better wound management with AUVCT
Faster healing time
Less pain
Less microbial colonization
Less scaring
Problem
Prolonged wound healing causes incapacitation of hospitals:
Up to 40% of the beds are occupied because of incurred wounds.
Management of wounds takes up over half of all patient care resources.
4% of surgical interventions
become infected.
Wounds account for almost 4% of total health care costs, and increasing.
Technological solution
AUVC Tech has developed a revolutionary device for wound treatment:
Low powered LED generated Ultraviolet light type C (UVC) accelerates the healing of diabetes ulcers, surgery or injury wounds significantly.
The patented Technology is safe, sustainable and easy to apply. UVC is antibacterial and antiviral, which results in less need of antibiotics.
The AUVC Tech’s Apparatus will be comercialized as a class-IIa medical device.
Value proposition
Substantially faster healing time of all wounds comparing to the traditional wound care
Reducing the amount of hospital care needed.
Reducing the need the use of Antibiotics siginificantly
Leading to
Patients: Faster recovery, less infections, short treatment
Hospitals: More capacity through reduced bed-occupancy
Home Care: Savings through less and shorter visits
Employer: Savings through less and shorter sick leaves
Payers: savings in all costs through all above
Example case
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery
Healing of the CTS surgery wound using AUVCT technology takes approx. 14 days
Healing of the would with traditional methods takes normally 42-49 days, in worst cases even a year.
Using AUVCT the patient is back at work even 28 days sooner than traditionally would be.
Cost of a sick leave day for the National Health Insurance in Finland is 400€ /day, or even 820€ /day if the worker needs to be substituted for the sick leave period.
In other words, AUVCT saves the Health Care System and Tax Payers 11.000€/23.000€ per case.
With over 11.000 annual CTS surgeries in Finland, 250M€ of taxpayers money can be saved by using the new UVC device. In the US 500.000 CTS surgeries are carried out annualy.
