Tissue expansion has been clinically proven to leading to improved quality of soft tissue healing, and primary wound closure facilitation. Osmed’s tissue expanders are easily placed under the skin by a physician, and inflate through the osmotic principle to gain volume, and grow consistently to a predefined form and size.

Speeding up healing, and tending to patient post-surgery comfort for the areas of plastic surgery, ophthalmology and dentistry, the expanders reduce the mean incidence of post-operative graft exposition from 25% to 4%, and increase the mean vertical bone gain from approximately 4.0mm to 7.5mm.

Thanks to their small size (3 mm.), a minimally invasive incision is needed to position them, allowing for a short surgical time that reduces post-operative pain. After the healing period of 6-8 weeks, the expander is removed in the course of augmentation surgery.

Osmed’s hydrogel tissue expanders are constructed from the safest materials, made of cross-linked hydrogel: co-polymers based on methyl methacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone. They are non-toxic, non-genotoxic and non-immunoreaective.

Innovance strives to cater the most effective products, facilitating healing efficiency, patient comfort, and safety. Osmed’s hydrogel tissue expanders truly are a revolutionary product and are set to change the market.

A new Citi report, which now downgrades the estimates on future price of crude, argues that the recent reduction in oil prices consists of “only the beginning” of upcoming events, as oil is very likely to drop even at $20 a barrel for a brief period of time.

The global situation seems to justify estimates of even lower oil prices than today, given that according to reports and analysts, US oil production is showing no signs of slowing, and Brazil and Russia are pumping oil at record levels. In the meantime, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran are competing for their current market shares, thus leading to reduced prices in Asia.

Simply put, the market currently suffers from oversupply and huge oil inventories, which led to the prices spiraling down, as OPEC refuses to reduce their supply. Meanwhile, oil analysts are reporting that they see no possible reduction of production at least until the 3^rd quarter of 2015.

On the 10^th of February 2015, WTI is negotiated at around $52 per barrel. It is a fact that the US “shale revolution” has irreversibly altered the capabilities of OPEC to effectively control prices and maximize profits for the economies involved.

On the other hand, in its monthly report for 2015, OPEC estimates that the sharp price reduction will drastically affect oil production in the US, and in other oil producing countries, “faster than expected”. The same report also estimates that the demand for oil produced in OPEC member-states will increase to around 29.21 million barrels per day (MMbd) this year, indicating an increase of 430.000 bd since the last OPEC prediction.

However, the report reviewed its previous assumptions concerning non-OPEC oil producers, reducing their total production volume by 420.000 bd, down to 850.000 bd, partly due to the slowdown of shale gas production in the US (a conflicting statement) and lower investments from energy companies worldwide.

In regards to their views on future production trends the report quotes that: “(The reduced supply from non-OPEC countries) is due to announced spending cuts for the year 2015 from national oil players, mostly due to the reduction of active drillings in the US and in Canada.”

OPEC also reduced its prediction for the total oil supply available in the US by 170.000 bd in 2015, while Russian and non-OPEC Middle Eastern countries are expected to also face a production reduction during the year.

We at Innovance Technologies are pleased to hear that the 20 biggest economies of the planet reached an agreement concerning a pack of measures aiming to boost growth worldwide by 2.1% by 2018.

The growth pack primarily seeks to increase economic activity in infrastructure and world trade, and aspires to add a grand total of more than 2 trillion US dollars to the global economy, adding many jobs and increasing international trade.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed that the progress and sound implementation of the pack will be monitored by the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Furthermore, we welcome the call of the world leaders for a strong and effective action to address climate change, ahead of the climate conference in Paris in 2015.

It is of growing concern though that the ongoing standoff between the Russian Federation and the West is continuing, and may lead to any further sanctions and/or isolation of the Russian Federation, one of the world’s biggest economies, which would cause a slowdown in international trade and business.

We look forward to the upcoming European Council Summit where a €300 billion investment plan for growth and jobs for the next two years will be discussed.
