As part of its continued mission to connect the global healthcare community with clinically relevant information and education that improves patient care, healthcare event and education company HMP Global announces the relaunch of ePlasty, a peer-reviewed digital journal dedicated to advancing medical and scientific knowledge in plastic and reconstructive surgery, surgical wound healing, vascular surgery, tissue repair, and more.

The company acquired the journal in February, it notes in a media release.
