SALT LAKE CITY and CLEVELAND, Dec. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PolarityTE, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTE), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products using a patient's own tissue, and the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center jointly announced today that SkinTE™ is now available for use throughout the UH network of healthcare facilities. SkinTE is the first commercially-available autologous, homologous product that regenerates full-thickness skin that is fully-functional, and is an alternative to skin grafts and skin substitutes. UH is the first healthcare provider in the state of Ohio to offer SkinTE to its patients.

Denver M. Lough, MD, PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PolarityTE said, "Our goal is to bring to market innovative, regenerative therapies that provide significant benefits to both patients and providers, and set new standards of care in wound and burn treatment. The agreement with University Hospitals is another example of our continued success in building strong relationships with national healthcare providers. We are thrilled to partner with UH in delivering a solution that is both clinically-beneficial and cost-effective and one that can improve the lives of their patients."
"SkinTE has made an immense impact on our pediatric patients at UH by minimizing donor skin site pain, discomfort and unsightly scarring. Patients and their parents have noticed that the regenerated skin is soft, pliable and non-adherent to the underlying wound. SkinTE is a complete paradigm shift from adherent split graft treatment of the last century," said Anand Kumar, MD, FACS, FAAP, Division Chief of Pediatric Plastic Surgery, Rainbow Babies Children's Hospital of Case Western Reserve University.
SkinTE is intended for the repair, reconstruction and replacement of lost or damaged skin due to burns, wounds, injuries, surgical reconstruction, scars and failed skin grafts. The UH network joins the growing list of healthcare facilities where SkinTE is approved for commercial use.
