  Medical Director

  As medical director I am involved with education (staff education, medical conferences, Insurance Industry, etc.) research and product development. The major focus of the company is compression therapy established 1975. We design, manufacture, package and ship all of our products from our home plant in Rural Hall, NC, USA (Winston Salem area). Our research over the past several years has been performed at North Carolina State University and continues to be published in peer reviewed, Medline indexed journals. Our research is fascinating because it has challenged a significant amount of previously considered basic principles of compression therapy and has led to new products to address these issues. Carolon as a company presents itself as the most informed company in the world on the dynamics of compression therapy and an informational resource for those interested in the same. We also develop and produce the very best products in the world and at extremely competitive prices because the fact that our product development and manufacturing, packaging and shipping is performed on one site which is a tremendous benefit for quality assurance.

  APWH is a only full service medical organization serving all prescribing physicians involved with wound healing in two major areas. First, unlike other organizations the Academy provides education that is physician oriented and emphasizes diagnosis and management of disease associated with chronic wound as well as treating the wound.

Secondly but as important is the fact that the APWH It provides advocacy for patients and advocacy for physicians to the insurance industry and governmental agencies.
