GAINESVILLE, FL --(Marketwire - January 08, 2013) - Quick-Med Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: QMDT), a life sciences company that is developing innovative technologies for the healthcare and consumer markets, announced today that Viridis BioPharma Pvt. Ltd. has begun selling and shipping Microfoam™ dressings to customers. Microfoam is the first advanced wound care dressing to utilize Quick-Med's proprietary non-leaching NIMBUS® technology. Viridis received approval by the Food and Drug Administration of India in September 2011 to manufacture and market Microfoam wound dressings incorporating NIMBUS antimicrobial technology.

NIMBUS represents a next generation in wound care. This unique technology offers surgeons, wound care clinicians, infection control experts and primary care doctors an important new weapon against the transmission of such virulent bacteria as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is the first non-leaching antimicrobial available in a wound dressing.

"It's exciting that this unique technology is now available in an advanced wound dressing format, in an emerging market," said Bernd Liesenfeld, Quick-Med's president. "India's large population, increasing investments in health care and fast growing wound care market represents a significant opportunity for Viridis to provide patients and caregivers with great a product, and to drive sales with our unique, value-added NIMBUS antimicrobial feature."

The NIMBUS technology is designed to prevent bacteria developing resistance, and avoid releasing toxic material into the wound, so there is no impeding the wound healing process. It is a novel antimicrobial technology: non-leaching and effective even in high concentrations of body fluids. NIMBUS technology is easy for the caregiver to implement as part of prophylactic care for patients at risk for infections. 

As part of its commercialization efforts, Viridis BioPharma has sponsored clinical trials to demonstrate the efficacy of Microfoam dressings. "India tops the diabetes sufferers list as per World Health Organization (WHO) figures and consequently chronic diabetic wounds and ulcers. Quick-Med's NIMBUS Technology applied through Microfoam dressing shows remarkable relief in burn and wound cases and particularly in diabetic chronic wounds, as well as in venous and pressure ulcers, in an Indian clinical trial," commented Dr. Dilip Mehta, CEO of Viridis BioPharma Pvt. Ltd.
