Kleinostheim, 26 March, 2007 – curasan AG (WKN 549 453 8) has been granted worldwide distribution rights by Kensey Nash Corporation, USA, for Epi-Guide®, their bioresorbable membrane. This is an extension to a cooperation established in 2001 which has, so far, comprised sales in Germany, several other European countries and – since 2005 – the United States.

"International distribution rights open up additional revenue potential and create synergies in the expansion of marketing activities by way of supra-regional opinion leaders and by offering our distributors an even more balanced, and thus more attractive, product range", says Chairman Hans Dieter Roessler.

Epi-Guide® is a uniquely structured bioresorbable synthetic membrane with many applications within guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR). Suggestions for improvement, made to the manufacturer by curasan, significantly contributed to the development of a new generation of membranes which is now available as an optimized product.
