Notes to Editors:
AMS advanced woundcare products are based on an extensive range of technologies including alginates, silver alginates and hydrophilic polyurethane foams. These and other products pioneer the concept of moist wound healing, allowing wounds to heal faster and with less pain and scarring. They protect the wound, deal with tissue fluids and provide an optimal environment for healing to occur. Silver is widely recognised as a safe and effective broad-spectrum anti-microbial agent for infection control.
AMS wound closure and sealants products are based on cyanoacrylate adhesive ("superglue") technology developed for medical applications. Tissue adhesives offer significant benefits over conventional ways of closing wounds following trauma or surgical incision. They are simple to use, non-invasive, help to reduce the risk of infection, minimise trauma to the patient and provide good clinical and cosmetic outcomes. The technology is also ideally suited to protecting skin from breakdown or for use as a skin sealant to help prevent infection of surgical sites.
AMS employs 240 people in three locations (Winsford, Plymouth and the Netherlands). In 2009, AMS delivered a 19% increase in revenues and a 51% increase in operating profit before exceptionals. The business has an experienced management team, whose stated aim is to grow the business both organically and by exploring selective acquisition opportunities. The Board has announced its intention to recommend a maiden dividend for the year ended 31st December 2010.
