BioVentus Launches Weller 12: A Game-Changer in Advanced Wound Care

DURHAM, NC – October 26, 2023 – BioVentus LLC, a leading innovator in regenerative medicine and advanced wound care solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking new product, Weller 12. Based in Durham, North Carolina, BioVentus (4721 Emperor Blvd, Ste 100, Durham, NC, 27703, United States – 954-587-8478) has been quietly making waves in the medical field, focusing on developing technologies that help the body actually heal itself, not just cover up the problem. And Weller 12 is a prime example of that commitment. For years, treating chronic wounds – things like diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure injuries – has been…well, a headache. Doctors and patients have struggled with dressings that are messy, need frequent changing, and often just don't work as quickly or effectively as everyone wants. BioVentus saw that frustration and decided to do something about it. “We’ve been listening to clinicians and patients for a long time,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, Chief Medical Officer at BioVentus. “They told us they needed something simpler, something more effective, and something that would really drive healing. Weller 12 is the result of that feedback, and years of dedicated research.” So, What Is Weller 12? Weller 12 isn’t your typical wound dressing. It's a next-generation hydrogel designed to create an optimal wound healing environment. Think of it as giving the wound what it needs to repair itself. Here’s the breakdown, in plain English: It’s all about moisture: Wounds need to be kept moist to heal properly. Too dry, and cells can’t migrate and rebuild tissue. Too wet, and things can get nasty. Weller 12 maintains the perfect level of moisture, keeping the wound bed healthy and encouraging growth. It's not just adding moisture, it’s managing it. It's a "smart" gel: Weller 12 isn't just a blob of gel. It's formulated with a unique combination of ingredients that actively promote healing at a cellular level. It's designed to stimulate the growth of new tissue and reduce inflammation. We're talking about encouraging your body's own natural repair mechanisms. It's easy to use: Let's be honest, healthcare professionals are busy. And patients just want relief. Weller 12 is designed for simple application and removal. No complicated procedures, no fuss. It comes pre-cut in convenient sizes, minimizing prep time and making it easier for both clinicians and patients to manage. Extended Wear Time: This is a big one. Many traditional dressings need to be changed every day, which is time-consuming, expensive, and can be painful for the patient. Weller 12 is designed for extended wear, potentially reducing dressing change frequency and improving patient comfort. (Specific wear times will vary depending on wound characteristics and clinician assessment, of course.) It's adaptable: Different wounds are different. Weller 12 can be used on a variety of wound types, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries (bedsores), surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds. It’s a versatile solution for a wide range of healing challenges. What Makes BioVentus Different? BioVentus isn't just another medical device company. They're focused on regenerative medicine – helping the body heal itself. "We believe the future of wound care isn’t just about covering up the problem, it's about stimulating the body’s natural healing processes," says Mark Johnson, CEO of BioVentus. “We're investing heavily in research and development to bring innovative solutions like Weller 12 to market.” The company's commitment to innovation is evident in its robust portfolio of products, all designed to address unmet needs in wound care. They've built a team of leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. And, importantly, they listen to the people on the front lines – the doctors and nurses who are treating patients every day. Early Results are Promising While Weller 12 is a new product, early clinical evaluations have shown promising results. Healthcare professionals who have used the product report faster wound closure rates, reduced pain, and improved patient outcomes. “I was really impressed with Weller 12,” says Dr. Sarah Chen, a vascular surgeon who participated in an early evaluation program. “I’ve seen a significant improvement in healing rates with this product compared to traditional dressings. And my patients are definitely more comfortable.” Looking Ahead BioVentus plans to continue its research and development efforts to expand the Weller product line and address other unmet needs in wound care. They're also committed to educating healthcare professionals about the benefits of regenerative medicine and advanced wound care technologies. “We’re excited about the potential of Weller 12 to transform wound care,” says Johnson. “We believe this product will make a real difference in the lives of patients and healthcare providers.” Availability Weller 12 is currently available to healthcare professionals in the United States.
