Orthocell signs up first four Remplir distributors in the lucrative US market

Highlights:

• Orthocell appoints four US distributors following recent regulatory approval of its Remplir product.

• The company is pursuing broader geographic representation through an expanding distributor network.

• Remplir is already available in several Asia-Pacific markets with further international approvals underway.

Orthocell Ltd (ASX:OCC), operating in the regenerative medicine sector, has commenced its commercial rollout of the Remplir nerve repair product in the United States following regulatory clearance. The appointment of multiple distributors in key states marks a strategic move to penetrate one of the largest medical device markets globally.

The company’s product line, including Remplir, focuses on enhancing surgical outcomes for peripheral nerve repair and aligns with the growing global demand for innovative biomaterials in surgical applications.

First US Distributors Confirmed for Remplir Rollout

Following recent clearance for Remplir in the United States, Orthocell secured distribution agreements with its first partners to facilitate market entry. These distributors are located across Michigan, Virginia, Colorado, and Indiana, each operating within specialized surgical and hospital networks.

The selected distribution model enables a lean and direct approach to commercialization. By engaging entities with established regional networks, Orthocell benefits from accelerated access to surgeons and hospital systems already engaged in nerve repair procedures.

These distributors are responsible for marketing activities, surgeon engagement, and the expansion of referring medical professionals in their respective territories. This structure allows Orthocell to maintain operational efficiency while extending its presence through localized expertise.

Expansion Strategy to Cover Broader US Regions

Orthocell has laid out a clear pathway for wider distribution coverage across additional states. The broader strategy involves expanding its network through the appointment of additional distributors within the financial year. This initiative is expected to strengthen the company's ability to support clinical engagement, manage sales pipelines, and ensure product availability across the US.

To support this growth, the distributor network will be coordinated by an internal commercial team, including sales directors and territory managers with specific regional responsibilities. The structure supports consistent messaging and brand awareness while leveraging the agility of a third-party salesforce.

Preparation and Logistics to Meet Demand

In preparation for its US market entry, Orthocell completed necessary groundwork in manufacturing, logistics, and regulatory compliance. With inventory already secured, the company is positioned to meet the early stages of US demand for Remplir.

By ensuring readiness ahead of market approval, Orthocell aims to minimize delays in order fulfillment and maximize early-stage engagement with key medical stakeholders. The company’s internal systems and supply chain capabilities support scalable distribution, which aligns with its broader global plans.

International Footprint and Global Approval Roadmap

Remplir is currently approved for use in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, forming the base of Orthocell’s commercial footprint. Additional regulatory submissions are underway in other regions, with applications expected in multiple countries within the coming months.

These efforts are part of Orthocell’s broader approach to addressing global demand for regenerative solutions. The nerve repair segment represents a key focus within the wider ASX Healthcare Stocks landscape, with Orthocell Ltd (ASX:OCC) actively progressing toward greater market access across diverse territories.

With an expanding presence, an established product portfolio, and ongoing regulatory engagement, Orthocell continues to build its position within the global medical device sector.
