FORT WAYNE, IN – BioPoly LLC announced today that it has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with UK-based global distributor, OrthoD Group Ltd, to distribute its BioPoly® partial resurfacing family of products. Through OrthoD’s extensive distribution network within its subsidiaries ORTHODYNAMICS, SUMMIT MEDICAL and ORTHOMED, BioPoly now has access to orthopaedic markets throughout the world. “We are very excited to be partnering with OrthoD,” stated Herb Schwartz, PhD, President of BioPoly LLC. “We have expended a significant amount of effort to ensure that we were partnering with the right organization who would be able to drive and support the marketing and growing sales of our BioPoly products. From their sales portfolio to their extensive worldwide coverage to their experienced team, OrthoD is definitely the right distribution partner for BioPoly.”
BioPoly implants are manufactured from a next generation biomaterial that is cartilage-friendly, thus, allowing the implant to interact with native cartilage. Therefore, these implants have been designed to replace the damaged portion of joints with minimally invasive surgical techniques as opposed to replacing the entire joint. The CE-marked, BioPoly® RS Partial Resurfacing Knee Implants were first introduced to the European market in 2012 and have been performing extremely well in patients ever since. A new patella implant called the BioPoly® RS Partial Resurfacing Patella received its CE-mark and was introduced to the market in 2014 and a new shoulder implant called the BioPoly® RS Partial Resurfacing Shoulder is planned to be introduced later this year.
