Ark products included in new NHS contract

Ark Therapeutics has had three of its products accepted for inclusion in the new UK National Health Service's Supply Chain Advanced Wound Care and Topical Negative Pressure Therapy Contract.

The three products are: Kerraboot, a boot-shaped dressing that can be quickly and easily changed when protecting foot and leg ulcers; Flaminal, for protecting from infections without toxicity to human cells; and Kerraped, medical footware for patients with ulcers.

The new NHS contract is designed to promote best practice and cost effectiveness in wound care by encouraging all NHS Trusts in England and Wales to use and purchase the same brands of products, as listed by the contract.
