Noble Biomaterials, Inc. announced it renewed an exclusive strategic relationship with KCI Manufacturing, an affiliate of Kinetic Concepts Inc., for the company’s V.A.C.® GranuFoam Silver® Dressing.  

The new agreement allows the relationship to continue over several more years.

The dressing provides a barrier to bacterial penetration and may help reduce infection in millions of patients suffering from chronic, acute, sub-acute, traumatic, and dehisced wounds, partial thickness burns, ulcers, flaps and grafts, Noble said.

It was jointly designed and optimized with the KCI V.A.C. ® Therapy System to deliver negative pressure wound therapy. The dressing allows the silver coated foam to come into direct contact with the wound.
