Mr. Whelan continued, "In order to further drive our future revenueopportunities, we are aggressively pursuing various clinical studies withleading medical professionals. We recently announced clinical studies for theuse of ActiPatch in breast augmentation and cesarean section post-surgicalcare and today we are pleased to announce that an additional trial for the useof ActiPatch for the treatment of plantar fasciitis will soon get underway.As the baby boomer generation ages, Plantar fasciitis is becoming increasinglycommon. This condition, which is mainly caused by excessive wear to theplantar fascia, the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot andis commonly associated with aging, obesity, pregnancy, and jobs that require alot of work on hard surfaces, causes considerable pain to millions of people.To relieve the pain and inflammation, many have turned to non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen, but thescience clearly shows these are often of limited benefit. We are very excitedabout working with this group leading lower extremity experts on evaluatingActiPatch as a treatment for this painful condition."
Dr. David G. Genecov added, "Many Doctors of Podiatric Medicine and othermedical professionals are starting to investigate the use of ActiPatch for thetreatment of a variety of foot and ankle related conditions, but there hasbeen little clinical data. The team we have assembled for this importantstudy looks forward to providing this real world clinical data to ourcolleagues."
