NEW YORK & PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RenovaCare, Inc., (OTCQB: RCAR), highlighted an analysis of treatment results on a variety of wide-area and severe burn injuries published in Burns, the peer-reviewed Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries. The treatment method, which involved isolating and spraying the patients own skin stem cells on the burn wounds, is the technology underlying RenovaCares patented CellMist and SkinGun*.

The early cell spray technology which was used to successfully treat a wide spectrum of burn injuries to some of the largest body areas ever treated with stem cell transplantation, has been engineered into todays RenovaCare SkinGun device, explained Mr. Thomas Bold, President and CEO of RenovaCare, Inc.

The results, published in August 2016, report the retrospective analysis of outcomes in 45 severe second-degree burn patients who received skin stem cell spray grafting treatment under an innovative practice approach.

The patients suffered burn wounds such as gas and chemical explosions, as well as electrical, gasoline, hot water and tar scalding burns. Click here to see before-after photos

In the case of one patient with severe electrical burns to over one-third of his body, his wounds were sprayed with 23 million stem cells isolated from a tiny 2 x 2 sample of his own skin. Within five days of treatment, his chest and arms were already healed. Four days later, the patient was discharged from the hospital, said Mr. Bold.

These published analyses are especially encouraging to us because patients were successfully treated with the technology no matter what the source of the burn, concluded Mr. Bold.

According to the Burns article authors, regardless of the burn type, cell spray showed quick healing (fast epithelialization), along with other benefits. "Cell-spray grafting is also especially suitable for hands and joint areas, where prolonged times to re-epithelization may significantly impact functionality and esthetic outcome," said the report.

Other findings in the article, following cell spray with the technology include:

Gas Explosion Patient

A gas explosion caused burns to the upper right arm and partial right chest area of a 43-year-old man who also suffered orthopedic injuries. "There was no evidence of hypertrophic (abnormalenlargementofanorgan) scarring throughout the prior burn area, and his only functional impairment ... was due to his wrist injury," concluded the report.

Chemical Explosion Burn

A 37-year-old patient suffered serious burns to his arms and hands as a result of a potassium nitrate explosion. The report observed the following outcome: "... the areas of autografts were noted to be almost indiscernible with the normal skin ... The patient maintained a full range of motion in all extremities without restriction."

Electrical Burn

After grabbing a live electrical wire a 35-year-old male received deep burns to the head, chest, abdomen, back, right hand and foot. Doctors indicated a full recovery to the affected areas in the article: ... all of the areas treated with cell spray grafting were noted as completely healed and re-epithelialized ... the patient had a functional range of motion in all extremities."

Gasoline Flame Burn

A gasoline flame injury to an 18-year-old male resulted in burns to the arms and legs. Forty-five million cells were obtained from the patient and used to spray the entire burn wound surface. "Wounds were completely healed by ... and there was no evidence of ... scarring or contractures, and the patient demonstrated a full range of motion in all extremities," the article said.

Hot Water Scalding

A hot water scalding injury covered a 43-year-old patients upper left arm, shoulder, back and torso. His post cell spray treatment provided the following results: "A 100% re-epithelialization was noted and the patient was discharged that day with instructions to apply Eucerin moisturizer to the wound ... the patient was also noted to have a full range of motion in his extremities, according to the article.

Hot Tar Scalding

Hot tar burned a 43-year-old mans right arm, right hand and midsection and within seven days of treatment the article concluded: all areas were noted to be healed and re-epithelialized and the patient was discharged.

The Burns article titled, Second-degree burns with six etiologies treated with autologous noncultured cell-spray grafting, by: Roger Esteban-Vives, Myung S. Choi, Matthew T. Young, Patrick Over, Jenny Ziembicki, Alain Corcos, and Jrg Gerlach, was published by Elsevier in the November 2016 issue of Burns (Nov;42(7):e99-e106. doi: 10.1016/j.burns.2016.02.020.

Study authors, Dr. Roger Esteban-Vives and Dr. Jrg Gerlach currently have a financial interest in the SkinGun spray-grafting technology through payments from RenovaCare, Inc. Dr. Esteban-Vives, who currently Director of Cell Sciences at RenovaCare, Inc., was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pittsburgh when this work was conducted and did not have such financial interest at that time.

AboutBurns

Burnsaims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.

About RenovaCare

RenovaCare, Inc. is developing first-of-its-kind autologous (self-donated) stem cell therapies for the regeneration of human organs. Its initial product under development targets the bodys largest organ, the skin. The companys flagship technology, the CellMist System, uses its patented SkinGun to spray a liquid suspension of a patients stem cells the CellMist Solution onto wounds. RenovaCare is developing its CellMist System as a promising new alternative for patients suffering from burns, chronic and acute wounds, and scars. In the US alone, this $45 billion market is greater than the spending on high-blood pressure management, cholesterol treatments, and back pain therapeutics.
