LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Regenerative medical devices company Tissue Regenix Group has entered into a distribution agreement, and secured its first order with, a speciality supplier of orthopaedic and biologic products, it announced on Monday.
The AIM-traded firm said the agreement was for the UK distribution of 'OrthoPure XT', following its recent CE-mark approval in June.

It described OrthoPure XT as a decellularised porcine tendon, developed using its patented 'dCELL' technology.

The product was granted CE-mark approval for the reconstruction of knee ligaments, to restore knee function and stability.

Under the terms of the UK distribution agreement, the NHS and private healthcare sectors would have access to OrthoPure XT.

The group said it would initially focus on commercialisation of OrthoPure XT in the UK, before beginning a gradual roll-out into certain other European countries over time.

Tissue Regenix said it had received the first modest order, with delivery expected to take place during the fourth quarter.

It was expected that demand for the product line would increase in 2021, as additional distribution opportunities were identified.

"We believe OrthoPure XT has the potential to be a disruptive product in the market for reconstruction of knee ligaments and offers benefits to patients and healthcare providers.
