A former senior vice president of sales at MiMedx, Kevin Lilly helped the company grow significantly. Kevin Lilly’s role in the company’s growth involved developing sales and marketing strategies for wound care, among other activities.MiMedx operations have incorporated a placental donation program called the Give the Gift of Healing. It aims to use placental stem cell technology to repair various types of wounds. This donation program encourages new mothers who deliver through Caesarean section to donate their afterbirth to the company for medical uses.Normally, the placenta is discarded as waste, but this tissue, including the amnion/chorion membranes, is rich in elements that can be used toward advancing wound care. These tissues are used to produce allografts through MiMedx's patented PURION process, which allows healthcare professionals to not only use it for wound care but also in surgical, sports medicine, ophthalmic, and dental sectors.These gifts are not just a donation to science, but they culminate in actually helping others heal from their injuries. Diabetic foot ulcers, soft tissue injuries, and venous leg ulcers and burns are just a few of the injuries that these donations are used toward.
Kevin Lilly is the former Senior Vice President of Sales at MiMedx, which distributes regenerative therapeutic products to medical practitioners in physician’s offices, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and VA facilities. During the course of his tenure, Kevin Lilly grew company sales from $187 million to $385 million.Several of the company’s products rely on its PURION process for extracting growth factors and bioactive proteins used in human amniotic membrane allografts. The PURION process involves removing the blood factors while making sure to leave the amniotic membrane intact. This allows for the safe separation, cleaning, reassembly, and dehydration of placental tissues in a manner that preserves their healing properties.The human amniotic membrane is a multi-layered tissue which is comprised of a single layer of epithelial cells as well as avascular connective tissue and a basement membrane. This membrane contains collagens that are commonly associated with cell growth. It also contains specialized proteins within an extracellular matrix and various growth factors. Through the PURION cleaning process, this tissue becomes a durable graft that can be used for reconstructive surgical procedures and wound care.

For many years, Kevin Lilly has worked in the healthcare field at the executive level, most recently at MiMedX as the senior vice president of sales. Formerly, Kevin Lilly was the senior vice president of marketing and product management at Standard Register Healthcare, a business communications company recently renamed Taylor Communications.
In the healthcare field, perhaps more than any other, clear and efficient communication is essential. Without the benefit of secure mobile communications, healthcare staff face serious problems from delays. With almost half of hospitals still using pagers, the time it takes for nurses and physicians to communicate is appallingly slow compared to professionals in other fields.
Moreover, the lack of mobile electronic health record access slows down treatment considerably. If physicians have to access health records from shared access points, that wastes time, and also increases the time it takes to update information about patients.
One of the biggest problems in healthcare communications is potential security breaches, and it’s something that’s holding back the widespread adoption of mobile communication technologies. With so much sensitive information under regulatory scrutiny, any system needs to be extremely secure before it’s adoption can be considered.
