Convatec Group completes acquisition of Triad Life Sciences

Convatec Group Plc (CTEC:LON) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Triad Life Sciences Inc (‘Triad’). The Triad team, current portfolio and product pipeline will now transition to ConvaTec’s Advanced Wound Care (AWC) business and be known as Convatec Advanced Tissue Technologies.

Next-generation extracellular matrix (ECM) products, the InnovaMatrix Technology Platform advances the science of wound management and burn care by combining the technological advantages of a medical device — reliability, reproducibility, and a rigorous safety profile — with the placenta’s inherent structural benefits.

We are dedicated to increasing patient access to innovative, reliable, and affordable technologies that address complex surgical wounds, hard-to-heal wounds, burns, and other regenerative dermal applications.

Next-Generation Wound Care Management

INNOVATIVE

The InnovaMatrix® Platform offers the first and only placental-derived medical device technology on the market that addresses the specific limitations of human placental grafts.1-8 This technology provides an array of new, exciting opportunities and is the foundation for Convatec’s robust product development pipeline.

RELIABLE

The InnovaMatrix® Platform products are regulated medical devices, unlike human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps). Produced under Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) with a consistent source material, the InnovaMatrix® Platform products ensure our customers are provided with reliable and reproducible ECM products for wound management.

AFFORDABLE

Our goal is to provide safe, cost-effective wound care solutions for patients. To that end, our operations maximize efficiency and create economic benefits for patients, healthcare providers, and payors.
