SUWANEE, GA, Feb. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCQB: SNWV) is pleased to announce that the company will exhibit at Wounds Canada 2018 Spring Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba on 11 -12 May 2018. SANUWAVE cordially invites you to visit us in our booth. Wounds Canada’s spring conference is a continuing education event designed to support healthcare professionals who work with patients with wounds or patients who are at risk for developing wounds. SANUWAVE is using this occasion to continue the education of Canadian customers on our lead wound care product, dermaPACE®.
“We are very excited about our US FDA approval received in December 2017 for our dermaPACE System to treat diabetic foot ulcers,” stated Kevin A. Richardson II, Chief Executive Officer of SANUWAVE. “We have received great response to our FDA approval, including in Canada, and now we expect to become a material player in the wound care space in Canada as 2018 unfolds and develops.”
In Canada, 2.4 million people were living with diabetes in 2008-2009, a figure that is expected to rise to close to 4 million people by 2018-2019. Ulceration of the foot is one of the major health problems for diabetics. Also, in acute inpatient care the diabetic foot ulcers represent a serious chronic disease. Wounds Canada, formerly Canadian Association of Wound Care, estimates that the average cost of treating a chronic wound in Canada is $10K and diabetes related ulcers cost the Canadian health care system $150M annually. Early treatment intervention with dermaPACE System can prevent ulcers from developing complications such as infection that could lead to amputation. 
Our Chief Financial Officer, Lisa Sundstrom, will be attending the conference on behalf of SANUWAVE. Please feel free to contact Lisa directly at lisa.sundstrom@sanuwave.com to set up an appointment during the conference.
