Dr John Greenwood has said this on his Linkedin profile about the BARDA grant and the future of skin grafting as he sees it."Today saw the culmination of four years of submissions, meetings and negotiation when PolyNovo announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority, part of the U.S. Government's Department of Health and Human Services had awarded a multi-million dollar contract designed to take the NovoSorb BTM through US multi centre trials, through an FDA PMA pathway and into the American marketplace for use in major deep burn injuries. This is the culmination of the past 10 years of my part in the development of this technology which, together with the upcoming completion of my bioreactor making mass Cultured Composite Skin production a reality, will truly make skin grafts obsolete! "I'm pleased to announce that (after 8 months), the fourth patient has been recruited into the study. Despite considerable medical issues, the BTM is behaving as expected and is already movable from the wound bed." "The BTM has now been implanted into 28 patients for free flap donor site reconstruction."

Good find. Why are we hearing about the progress on a LinkedIn profile? Would be great if PNV updated everyone officially on trial progress. Great news though that's makes it 4 from 4 successful so far. Makes you think the 10 required for the BARDA feasibility will be a shoe in IMO.
