AVITA Medical Highlights Largest Real-World Analysis Demonstrating Reduced Hospital Stay with RECELL

Rhea-AI Summary

AVITA Medical (NASDAQ: RCEL) presented groundbreaking data at the British Burn Association Annual Meeting showcasing significant benefits of their RECELL technology for burn patients. The largest real-world analysis to date, examining over 6,300 patients from 2019-2024, revealed that RECELL's Spray-On Skin Cells reduced hospital stays by 6.2 days (35.7%) compared to traditional split-thickness autografts for burns covering less than 30% total body surface area. This resulted in approximately $300 million in cost savings over the study period. RECELL, now used in more than 130 U.S. burn centers, requires less donor skin than traditional grafting and offers benefits including reduced pain, faster healing, and fewer procedures. The technology creates an autologous cell suspension from a small sample of the patient's own skin to support wound healing.

Insights

Medical Technology Analyst

RECELL's proven 35.7% reduction in hospital stays validates its clinical and economic value proposition in burn treatment.

The latest real-world data analysis for AVITA Medical's RECELL technology presents compelling evidence of its clinical and economic benefits. The retrospective study of over 6,300 patients from 2019-2024 demonstrates a significant 35.7% reduction in hospital stay (6.2 fewer days) for burns covering less than 30% of total body surface area when compared to traditional split-thickness autografts. This translates to estimated cost savings of approximately $300 million over the five-year study period.

The data presented at the British Burn Association Annual Meeting represents the largest real-world analysis of RECELL to date, providing robust validation of the technology's value proposition. RECELL's Spray-On Skin™ Cells require significantly less donor skin than traditional grafting methods, resulting in less pain, faster healing, improved outcomes, and fewer procedures.

With adoption in 130+ burn centers across the United States, RECELL has established significant market penetration. This widespread adoption, combined with demonstrable cost savings, strengthens AVITA Medical's position in the acute wound care market. The reduction in hospital stays directly addresses one of healthcare's primary economic concerns: lowering the cost of care while improving patient outcomes. These findings reinforce previously published data and provide compelling evidence for both healthcare providers and payers to continue and potentially expand RECELL adoption.

VALENCIA, Calif., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVITA Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX: AVH), a leading therapeutic acute wound care company delivering transformative solutions, today highlighted data presented by researchers at the British Burn Association (BBA) Annual Meeting demonstrating reduced length of hospital stay among burn patients treated with RECELL^®. The session, titled The Clinical Impact of Skin Cell Suspension Autograft from a National Registry Perspective, represents the largest real-world analysis of skin cell suspension autograft (commercially known as RECELL) to date.

The patented RECELL technology uses a small sample of a patient’s own skin to produce Spray-On Skin™ Cells, an autologous cell suspension that supports wound healing throughout the wound bed. Compared to traditional skin grafting, RECELL requires significantly less donor skin and offers a range of clinical benefits, including less pain at the donor site, faster healing, improved outcomes, and fewer procedures. These advantages contribute to shorter hospital stays and associated cost savings.

“Reducing hospital length of stay has a direct impact on the cost of care, especially in complex cases like severe burns,” said Jim Corbett, Chief Executive Officer of AVITA Medical. “This analysis further supports previously published data, reaffirming RECELL’s proven clinical and economic value by reducing hospital stays and accelerating patient recovery.”

The retrospective study, presented by Jeffrey E. Carter, MD, FACS, FABA, of Louisiana State University Health and Sciences Center and University Medical Center in New Orleans, analyzed registry data from over 6,300 patients treated with RECELL between 2019 and 2024. Key findings from patients with burns covering less than 30% total body surface area (TBSA) include:

• Significant reduction for length of stay for patients treated with RECELL Spray-On Skin Cells alone by 6.2 days or 35.7% compared to those with split-thickness autografts
• Cost savings of approximately $300 million over the 5-year study period, driven by reduced length of stay

“From a national registry perspective, we are seeing significant hospital savings and a clearer understanding of how newer technologies like RECELL impact clinical decisions, length of stay, and patient outcomes,” said Dr. Carter.

RECELL is used in more than 130 burn centers across the United States.
