Orthocell (ASX:OCC) advances Remplir adoption across multiple US hospitals
Value Assessment Committee approvals continue to progress in the US market
Distribution and logistics network strengthened to support expanding demand
ASX 200 listed Orthocell (ASX:OCC) operates in the biotechnology sector, with a primary focus on regenerative medicine and medical devices for nerve repair procedures. The company’s flagship product, Remplir, is being integrated into surgical practices across the United States through a structured commercialisation strategy.
Early adoption in the United States
Multiple surgical procedures have now been completed in the United States using Remplir. This initial phase is aimed at building familiarity among surgeons, similar to successful launches in markets such as Australia and Singapore. These early-stage procedures serve as a foundation for broader clinical uptake and further integration into hospital networks.
Progress with Value Assessment Committees
Orthocell is working closely with its distribution network to secure approvals from hospital Value Assessment Committees. These committees assess clinical efficacy, safety, and procedural benefits before granting access to use new medical devices within their facilities. Applications are being supported by surgeons affiliated with the targeted hospitals, helping to align procedural adoption with local clinical capabilities.
Distribution and logistics readiness
To facilitate procedural demand, Orthocell has shipped Remplir units to its United States logistics partner, Uniphar. This partnership ensures timely delivery and availability of the product for hospitals and surgeons conducting nerve repair surgeries. All units supplied to the US market are manufactured at Orthocell’s facility in Western Australia, maintaining consistent quality standards.
Strengthening of US-based operations
The company has enhanced its on-ground presence in the United States by adding experienced personnel to its team, including a regional sales director with specific expertise in the nerve repair space. This move is intended to support engagement with healthcare providers, streamline procedural training, and coordinate with distributors on expanding market reach.
Momentum in the commercialisation strategy
The commercialisation approach in the United States is being executed in stages, beginning with targeted hospitals and gradually broadening to additional healthcare facilities. With a growing base of trained surgeons and ongoing procedural adoption, Orthocell is reinforcing its footprint in the competitive nerve repair market.
