ADDISON, Texas, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ULURU Inc. (NYSE Alternext: ULU) announced today that clinical evidence on the treatment of wounds using Altrazeal(TM) Transforming Powder Dressing, and data on the physical properties of Altrazeal(TM) Silver will be presented at the annual APWCA National Clinical Conference in Philadelphia, April 2-5, 2009. The work will be presented in podium presentations and with posters on display during the meeting.

Renaat Van den Hooff, President and CEO of ULURU Inc., commented: "Since the launch of Altrazeal(TM) in June 2008, we have accumulated extensive clinical experience across all wound types. The presentation of this data in a formal forum is a reflection of the execution of an important part of our 2009 business strategy."

Dr. Brock Liden, DPM of the Berger Health Care Center in Circleville, Iowa, will discuss at one podium presentation a talk titled "Treatment methods and experience with a novel aggregating powder dressing." In this presentation, Dr. Liden will detail his experiences and best clinical practice using Altrazeal(TM), application techniques, and what to expect when applying and treating wounds with the dressing.

In addition, clinical evidence using Altrazeal(TM) in treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and difficult to treat wounds such as those on sickle cell patients or patients afflicted with lymphangioma or pyoderma will be presented. A total of five posters detailing clinical evidence of Altrazeal(TM) will be displayed including one that shows the successful use of Altrazeal(TM) under contact casts in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Commenting on the product, Dr. Greg Bohn, MD, FACS, Medical Director of the Trinity Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine in Bettendorf, Iowa, and author of three of the posters stated, "Altrazeal(TM) is proving to be a very versatile dressing in wound care. The ability to apply it for up to 30 days and combine it with other substances will have substantial impact in the wound care field."

Dr. John St. John, the Company's Vice President of Research and Development, will present a podium presentation on the development path of Altrazeal(TM) and the Altrazeal(TM) family of wound dressings.
