BONESUPPORTT ANNOUNCES 20,000 PATIENTS NOW TREATED WITH CERAMENT
In the past four years, we have transitioned from a Research and Development focused company to a commercial phase company,” said Lloyd Diamond, CEO of BONESUPPORTT. “In the U.S., CERAMENTT procedure growth is being driven by the continued commercial progress BONESUPPORTT and our U.S. distribution partner, Zimmer Biomet, continue to achieve. In Europe, the strong physician demand for BONESUPPORT’s first to market injectable antibiotic eluting products, CERAMENTT’G (gentamicin) and CERAMENTT V (vancomycin), indicated to promote and protect bone healing in the management of bone infections, is fueling significant procedure growth in this region and in new markets with new indications.”
“Achieving this milestone of 20,000 CERAMENTT procedures is not only recognition that our commercialization strategy is working, but validation that the utility of our novel technologies is resonating well with the global market place,” continued Mr. Diamond. “We look forward to expanding our product portfolio and extending the benefits to additional surgeons and patients worldwide.”
