OSTEOPORE EXPANDS INTO AFRICA WITH INITIAL SALES TO SOUTH AFRICA

Highlights:

  • Osteopore expands its footprint to Africa with the first shipment of its cranial regenerative implants to South Africa.

  • The initial sales represent an endorsement of Osteopore’s continued strategy to penetrate new markets and drive uptake amongst surgeons, and follows recent entry into Colombia and Spain.

  • Osteopore will harness this opportunity to expand collaborations with local surgeons and gain new regulatory access in additional Africa territories.

  • Osteopore’s regenerative implants are now sold in every contingent.

14 June 2022: Osteopore Limited (ASX: OSX) (“Osteopore” or the “Company”), an Australian and Singapore based global leader in the manufacture of innovative regenerative implants that empower natural tissue regeneration, is pleased to announce it has successfully expanded into the African market with its first shipment of cranial (skull) regenerative implants to South Africa.

Osteopore’s cranial implants can be manufactured at scale and dissolve over time to leave only natural healthy bone. They have largely outperformed traditional implant methods in terms of design, post-surgery complications and associated long-term health care costs.

The initial orders were received from Osteopore’s South Africa based distribution partner, Chronos Medical, who will promote the technology to their extensive network of hospitals and surgeons across the country. Osteopore’s implants have also successfully been cleared for marketing and sales by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority.

While the initial South Africa sales are not material in terms of revenue, it does represent an endorsement of Osteopore’s continued strategy to penetrate new markets and drive adoption amongst surgeons. Over the past two months, Osteopore has achieved first sales in Colombia and Spain, and also signed a distribution agreement to sell orbit reconstruction products within Australia and New Zealand.

Osteopore has regulatory access and operation in more than 20 countries and autonomous regions, including the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Company aims to gain additional regulatory access in new markets and continue to execute on its vision to become the standard-of-care for bone and tissue regeneration globally.

We plan to harness this opportunity and work towards increasing adoption in South Africa and the African continent, as well as continue to building an economic moat around the Company’s novel technology. We are proud that our regenerative implants are now sold in every continent. ”

Chronos Medical Director, Tristan Baijnath, and Co-Director, Dean Twigg, said, “We are thrilled to be bringing Osteopore to our shores and cannot wait to see the difference this astounding product makes in the lives of our surgeons and patients."
