Ivivi Technologies Signs New Three Year Contract with Regency Hospital to Facilitate the Expanded Use of our Roma3 Device for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds
Ivivi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVVI), a leader in non-invasive,
electrotherapeutic technologies, today announced that it has signed a
new three year contract with Regency Hospital Company, a leading
owner/operator of Long Term Acute Care (LTAC) hospitals across the
United States. The new contract will facilitate Regency’s
expanded use of our Roma3 pulsed
electromagnetic field (PEMF) device for the treatment of chronic wounds.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ivivi will provide Regency facilities
with several solution based packages that are priced using a fixed
monthly rental rate per facility versus the previous agreements’
per unit rental rate.
The contract resulted after a three month trial by Regency of the new
Roma3 device. Over the course of the trial,
Regency experienced improved rates of wound healing, a significant
reduction in the use of more costly negative pressure wound therapy
device rentals, and an overall cost savings of more than 60% per
patient. The contract is also part of Ivivi’s
strategy to move to a solution based pricing approach with hospital
groups such as Regency, rather than pricing solely on a per unit basis.
While this will result in a lower per unit rate, Ivivi anticipates an
increase in the volume of facilities under contract which should benefit
revenue growth over time, both with Regency as well as other hospital
groups.
"We are thrilled to expand our relationship
with Regency Hospitals to provide improved patient care, while helping
to control their healthcare costs,” said David
Saloff, Co-CEO, Ivivi Technologies. "We are
currently in nine of Regency’s 22 hospitals
and we expect that our solution based pricing will facilitate the
expansion of our devices into additional facilities. We believe this
agreement with Regency provides continued validation of the growing
acceptance of our PEMF technology in the chronic wound care marketplace
and will also facilitate our expansion into other hospital groups.”
Nancy F. Cher, RN, MSA, CWOCN, Director of Wound Care/Education of
Regency Hospital of Central Georgia commented, "Although
there are no magic bullets in the treatment of chronic wounds, during
the course of our trial we found Ivivi’s PEMF
technology, which is covered by a National Coverage Determination from
CMS (Medicare) for the treatment of chronic wounds, to be as close as we
have seen. While its ability to help heal wounds is what attracted us to
the technology, the therapy is indicated for the treatment of edema and
pain and our clinicians have found it to be very effective in managing
pain with much of our patient population. We believe the use of Ivivi’s
PEMF technology further differentiates Regency as an innovator in our
field and should continue to enable us to provide the best care
available.” About Regency Hospital Company
