Advanced Tissue • Little Rock, AR • www.advtis.com (866) 217-9900 • info@advtis.com • Founded: 2000

1) How long has your company been selling Durable Medical Equipment or Medical Supplies? Advanced Tissue began providing wound care supplies to patients in 2000. 2) Please list all of the categories of products that you sell. We have more than 500 different advanced wound care products, which include alginates, collagens, hydrogels, foams, hydrocolloids, wraps, gauzes and tape. 3) Please list your best selling product that is used in the wound clinic setting or used by a wound care patient in their home. Advanced Tissue only provides the products that are requested by clinicians; therefore, we are selling our service. However, we are seeing an increase in the utilization of foams, collagens and alginates. 4) What advice do you have for wound clinic professional searching for a DME or Medical Supply company to work with? Not all DMEs are the same. It is important to seek out a company that is an industry leader as well as someone that follows industry and Medicare guidelines and is accredited by a recognized accreditation organization. In addition, a DME should not act as a clinician but rather they should provide the supplies ordered by the clinician and encourage the patient to follow the clinics instructions as well as return to the clinic for follow up visits. 5) What percentage of your products would you say are used in the wound care center? Advanced Tissue is a DME so we do not provide product to be used within the wound care center. 6) What percentage of your products would you say are used by a wound care patient at their home? 100% of our products are ordered by clinicians for their patients to use in the home setting or within a skilled nursing facility. 7) Tell us something that our readers might not know about your company? Advanced Tissue is exclusive to wound care, shipping supplies direct to patient’s homes as well as to long-term care facilities for their residents. We have employees located throughout the United States and ship supplies in unique unit dose packages to all 50 states. 8) How can prospective customers get more information on this product?
