Publications & Presentations

Public presentation of OPAL001 and OPAL A include:

• The publication of a manuscript by Graves N & Ashby AE in a peer-reviewed journal (Wound Practice and Research, May 2008), describing the clinical use of OPAL001 in the Quadriplegic Centre, Perth. The abstract stated:
  • Treatment appeared to be effective, and persistent large and deep ulcers were healed. … The preliminary data presented show some evidence for OPAL001 therapy reducing costs and improving outcomes; the situation where costs decrease and health outcomes improve is both unusual and highly desirable for health care decision makers.
• The publication of an abstract and presentation at a peer-reviewed conference of the Australian Wound Management Association in May 2008 by Professor Geoffrey Mitchell of the University of Queensland School of Medicine, describing the clinical efficacy of OPAL001 in the treatment of a variety of different ulcer types. A brief excerpt of the underlying report is representative of the clinical data to date:
  • The story for each person was similar. The ulcers had been treated using conventional therapy for long periods of time, during which there was little or no improvement. … The temporal association between the application of the treatment and the commencement of healing is impressive. … Each patient experienced a marked improvement in his quality of life.
• The publication of an abstract and presentation of a poster at the European Wound Management Association conference in Helsinki in May 2008, describing the clinical efficacy of OPAL001 and OPAL A in the treatment of a variety of different ulcer types.
• The peer-review acceptance of 3 presentations on the clinical evidence of the efficacy of OPAL A to be delivered at the Australian Wound Management Association conference in Perth in March 2010.
• Peer-review acceptance of 2 presentations on the results of scientific research investigating the mechanisms of action of OPAL A to be delivered at the Australian Wound & Tissue Repair Society conference in Perth in March 2010.
