ADDISON, TX - (ACCESSWIRE - February 18, 2014) - Wound Management Technologies, Inc., (OTCQB: WNDM) announced today that its subsidiary, Resorbable Orthopedic Products, LLC, has granted a commercial license to BioStructures, LLC to market their newly FDA 510(k) cleared Bioactive Bone Graft Putty (Signafuse™).  BioStructures developed this product under the Development and License Agreement with ROP that was announced on November 11, 2011 under which BioStructures combined their proprietary biomaterials with ROP's patented resorbable wax carrier. This license creates Resorbable Orthopedic Products first revenue stream.

"We are very pleased to announce this first marketed product that is based on our patented resorbable bone wax technology," said Deborah Hutchinson, president of Wound Management Technologies. "This gives our Resorbable Orthopedic Products subsidiary its first product. We continue to believe that BioStructures is the right partner to develop and take these unique products to market."

Signafuse™ is indicated for the posterolateral spine, extremities and pelvis as well as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine.  Signafuse™ represents a new class of synthetic biomaterials designed for optimization of cell growth and bone formation. Signafuse™ is composed of a biphasic mineral and bioactive glass suspended in a resorbable polymer carrier. The patented polymer carrier gives Signafuse exceptional handling characteristics which allow the graft to be easily molded and shaped for the unique size of the bony defect.

Russell Cook, CEO of BioStructures said, "We are very excited and pleased to receive FDA clearance for Signafuse™ Bioactive Bone Graft Putty.  This technology combines our proven biphasic mineral with our patented bioactive and polymer components. We realize the orthobiologic market is crowded with a plethora of commodity offerings, so we wanted to develop a unique and effective device that brings excitement to the surgeon community as well as our distribution partners."
