Orthocell Limited announced adoption of Remplir?? by Australian urologists is accelerating with the product increasingly being used during prostate cancer surgery in a promising new application aimed at reducing post-surgical complications from peripheral nerve injury. Remplir has now been used in 100 surgical cases to assist in improving recovery of erectile function and urinary continence post-surgery.
This estimate is based on ~ 115,000 prostatectomies performed annually in the U.S., the majority of which are conducted automatically. To capitalise on this opportunity, the Company is establishing a commercialisation advisory board and investing in additional research to strengthen the scientific evidence base for this innovative peripheral nerve repair application, ahead of a targeted U.S. product launch in the medium term. Orthocell is also collating clinical data on initial patients who underwent radical prostatectomies with Remplir in Australia.
This data will be released once compiled and will support the scientific foundation for formal product launch in existing approved markets.
