- Australian-based regenerative medicine company, Orthocell Ltd,
has received US 510k clearance to market and supply its collagen
medical device for dental bone and tissue regeneration
procedures
- Strong partnering potential, with US, EU and AU market approval
now in place
- Striate+TM established as the new global brand for dental bone
and tissue regeneration product
Australian-based regenerative medicine company, Orthocell Ltd
(ASX:OCC, “Orthocell” or the “Company”), has achieved US 510k
clearance to market and supply its collagen medical device
Striate+TM in the US dental bone and tissue regeneration
market.
Orthocell Managing Director, Paul Anderson, said: “US
approval is a significant inflection point for our Company, and we
are now primed to partner and distribute this product. I look
forward to working with our leading dental surgeons to introduce
the new global brand, Striate+TM – previously branded as CelGro®
dental – to make a meaningful impact in the US market.”
The US 510(k) clearance now allows Orthocell to supply
Striate+TM in the US dental bone and tissue regeneration market,
estimated at US$500 million per annum1. The Company will now pursue
negotiations with multi-national dental companies for US marketing
and distribution rights, with Orthocell to retain manufacturing of
the finished product.
Striate+TM has been approved for use in dental bone and tissue
regeneration procedures including, but not limited to, dental bone
defect repair, augmentation around dental implants in immediate and
delayed extraction sockets and guided tissue regeneration
procedures in intrabony periodontal defects.
Leading US dental surgeon, Dr Pamela Ray, said:
“Striate+TM has exceptional handling qualities - when
manipulating, it remains dimensionally stable and unrolls easily
back to the original size. It has great tensile strength and does
not deform when hydrated. I am excited by this innovative product
and its potential. I believe it will assist with improving patient
outcomes and I look forward to working with the team at Orthocell
as it enters the US market.”
The 510(k) clearance follows the Company’s application submitted
to the FDA in May 2020. The FDA determined that, for the
indications above, Orthocell's Striate+ is substantially equivalent
to a predicate device and can therefore market Striate+ in the US.
Striate+ has, based on surgeon feedback, distinct advantages over
other similar products and may assist surgeons to deliver improved
patient outcomes through superior handling characteristics, tissue
integration qualities and improved bone healing.
With US, EU and Australian market approval achieved and key
opinion leaders (KOLs) actively engaging with the program,
Orthocell is well positioned to secure a distribution partner and
establish Striate+TM as the best-in-class dental resorbable
collagen membrane.
