Wellstar International, Inc. Announces Success in Beta Test

Business Wire
Wellstar International, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSI) (“Wellstar”) has
announced that it is achieving success in their Beta Test in a long
term acute care facility (LTAC).
Wellstar has been imaging existing patients and newly admitted
patients twice a week in one of its Beta Test Long Term Care
Facilities. The system is successfully tracking existing wounds as
well as deep tissue injury that ultimately leads to a pressure
ulcer. This allows the facility to give their patients additional
preventative and ongoing care.
Wellstar’s goal is to be able to detect a deep tissue injury and
have the facility treat the injury so that it possibly never
becomes a pressure ulcer. To date Wellstar TMI Imaging System has
been able to detect deep tissue injuries as well as other ulcers
that would have gone otherwise unnoticed by the care givers until
the ulcer broke the skin, as the System can detect what the nurse
or doctor cannot see with the naked eye.
The TMI System becomes a very cost effective tool because if an
ulcer breaks the skin, the cost could average almost 40,000 dollars
to treat and close the sore. As Wellstar continues to see growing
successes in their Beta Trials, they should be in a position to go
to market within the next 6-7 months.
Wellstar International, Inc. seeks to be the first-to-market in
deep tissue injury and pressure ulcer detection using its
proprietary infrared imaging system. Thermal Imaging is a low cost,
noncontact, non-radioactive diagnostic screening procedure designed
for clinical evaluation. In addition, thermal imaging provides an
ability to track the progress of therapies being utilized in a low
cost, non-invasive manner. Thermal Imaging can detect signs of
pressure ulcers before they are visible with the naked eye through
detection of temperature changes at the site which allows for
treatment of the pressure ulcer before it erupts. The TMI system
can be used to scan all new patients into hospitals and long-term
care facilities prior admittance and begin treating existing wounds
before they are visible.
Wellstar’s believes that the first emphasis on marketing their
systems will be to the LTAC Industry. There are over 700 of these
facilities in the US and their uses will correlate with the
facilities that are involved or will be involved with the Beta
Test. This should lead to over 1 million dollars per month in
revenue for Wellstar.
