Orthocell Submits Regulatory Application to Commence Sales of Remplir™ in Hong Kong

  • Orthocell continues its commercial expansion program in Asia for its nerve repair product Remplir™ with submission of a regulatory application to the Hong Kong Department of Health’s Medical Device Division. Approval to commence sales is expected in Q4 CY2025

  • Submission follows strong sales growth in existing markets for Remplir in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, and the recent landmark US 510(k) clearance to commence commercial distribution in the US$1.6 billion[1] US market

  • Rapid transition from approval to first sales in Singapore underpins Orthocell’s accelerated expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The Company is expecting approval in the US$84million[2] Thai market in Q2 CY2025 and is now evaluating market opportunities in Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines

  • Accelerated global expansion will significantly increase the revenue opportunity for the Company, targeting a 20% share of the US$3.2 billion[3] of value in selected markets

  • The Company has a strong balance sheet with circa $32 million[4] cash at bank and is very well funded to continue to broaden its commercial footprint and grow revenues in new and existing markets

Perth, Australia; 10 April 2025: Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited (ASX: OCC, “Orthocell” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has submitted an application to the Department of Health’s Medical Device Division (MDD) in Hong Kong to sell its leading nerve repair product Remplir™. Hong Kong is an attractive market in the region as a recognised leader in medical services across Asia. Approval to commence sales is expected in Q4 CY2025.

The application to register Remplir in Hong Kong complements the Asian regulatory program for Remplir, with approval already achieved in Singapore, approval expected in Thailand in Q2 CY2025, and market opportunities in Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines under review.

Orthocell CEO and MD, Paul Anderson, said: “Building on our early success in Singapore, we see an excellent opportunity for Remplir throughout Asian markets. We’ll continue to approach these markets using experienced on-the-ground distributors to market the product direct to customers, like we have done in Singapore. Not only does the distributor model provide a rapid path to sales, it is also cost efficient enabling the Company to focus on the market launch of Remplir into the globally significant US$1.6 billion[1] US nerve repair market.”

Remplir is a collagen wrap used in nerve repair surgery to assist surgeons to improve outcomes in the repair and regeneration of damaged nerves. Remplir is approved for sale in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA. Remplir has gained excellent sales traction since its Australian market launch in November 2022 and the Company has achieved three consecutive quarters of record revenue. There are ~180 orthopaedic and plastic surgeons now using Remplir in peripheral nerve repair surgeries across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.

The Company has a strong balance sheet with circa AU$32 million[3] cash at bank and is very well funded to continue to broaden its commercial footprint and grow revenues in existing and new markets. The combined market opportunity for Remplir in selected markets is estimated to be approximately US$3.2 billion[3] (circa A$5 billion) with Orthocell targeting a 20% market share. Effective expansion into other markets would see an increase in these projections, demonstrating significant near-term growth potential for the Company.
