Exclusive distribution agreement for OrthoPure® XT with Geistlich Biomaterials Italia

Tissue Regenix Group (AIM:TRX), the regenerative medical devices company, announces that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Geistlich Biomaterials Italia ("Geistlich"), a subsidiary company of Geistlich Pharma AG, a global company with a focus on regenerative products for bone, cartilage and tissue, for the distribution of OrthoPure XT in Italy.

The OrthoPure XT decellularised xenograft ligament utilises Tissue Regenix's patented dCell® technology and is the only available non-human biologic graft indicated for certain ligament reconstruction procedures. OrthoPure XT was commercially launched in December 2020 after being awarded a CE Mark for revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures and reconstruction of other knee ligaments, including multiligament and primary procedures when the autograft is unacceptable. The biocompatible implant provides a biomechanically appropriate tissue scaffold for cellular repopulation and eventual regeneration.

The multiyear distribution agreement covers Italy currently but also has the potential for extension to wider geographies. As part of the agreement, Geistlich has also committed to advance the clinical science surrounding OrthoPure XT which will be conducted at some of the leading institutions by clinicians in Italy.

Filippo Baldini, National Sales Manager for Geistlich Biomaterials Italia, commented: "Geistlich is excited to bring this new technology to the Italian market and serve the patient's needs with this innovative solution."

Prof. Stefano Zaffagnini of the Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, Italy stated: "Our centre has demonstrated an interest in xenograft options for our patients and the OrthoPure XT has the potential to address needs in knee surgeries."

Daniel Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Tissue Regenix, commented: "We are pleased to partner with Geistlich for our commercial efforts in Italy. Geistlich is a leader in regenerative products, so our commitments are aligned in delivering innovative products to advance patient care. We are excited to work with them to build the clinical experience with OrthoPure XT and introduce this transformative product to the Italian medical community."
