Further progress with ChloraSolv[®] roll out across Europe – market access activities in the Netherlands signal positive momentum
RLS Global, a medical healthcare company based in Sweden, and ConvaTec, one of the world’s leading advanced wound care companies, have made continued progress with the distribution and commercialisation of ChloraSolv®, a ground-breaking gentle wound debrider, in Europe.
After intensive market preparation and work with specialist wound experts in the Netherlands, ChloraSolv® gel was listed on January 1, 2022 in the Z- index and received a positive recommendation for reimbursement from Zorginstituut Nederland (ZN).
Chlorasolv® is already available in other European markets such as the Nordic countries.
Karin Fischer, CEO, RLS Global, said:
“I am very pleased with the registration and positive reimbursement recommendation achieved in the Netherlands. Together with ConvaTec we are focused on accelerating the activities to achieve reimbursement across key European markets”.
Sandrine Letellier, VP Global Marketing for ConvaTec Advanced Wound Care, said:
“At ConvaTec we’re focused on pioneering trusted medical solutions to improve the lives we touch. Effective debridement is a key step within our Wound HygieneTM Protocol of Care and ChloraSolv® brings a new gentle yet effective solution for the management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). We shall continue to invest in generating robust clinical and health economic data to illustrate the value we feel the product brings to patients”.
ChloraSolv®, manufactured by RLS Global, is a CE marked wound bed preparation gel intended for cleansing and debridement of the wound1. Without damaging the healthy tissue, ChloraSolv® ensures fast and easy debridement by softening and making it easy to mechanically remove devitalized tissue, pus and other biological debris that prevents the wound from healing2,3.
