MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2016
Global Orthobiologic Inc. an international distributor of regenerative medical products has announced that it has entered into an agreement to become the international distributor for Arteriocyte, a leading clinical stage biotechnology company, whose products include platelet rich plasma (PRP) kits. Of the agreement, Arteriocyte’s VP of Sales, Larry Davis said “I am thrilled to be working with Global Orthobiologic and cannot wait to see what we can accomplish together.” Until now, Arteriocyte had been focusing their sales and marketing efforts within the United States and this is their first foray into international markets. “The market for regenerative medicine outside of the US is much larger than the US market itself,” says Mr. Davis, “there is a lot of room for growth for both our company and our industry.”
“PRP is one of the cornerstones of regenerative medicine today. We at Global Orthobiologic are proud to be able to carry Arteriocyte’s product portfolio among our catalogue of products,” says Randy Beimel of Global Orthbiologic.
Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains (and releases through degranulation) several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue. PRP was first developed in the 1970s and first used in Italy in 1987 in an open heart surgery procedure. PRP therapy began gaining popularity in the mid 1990s. In humans, PRP has been investigated and used as a clinical tool for several types of medical treatments, including nerve injury, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, cardiac muscle injury, bone repair and regeneration, plastic surgery, and oral surgery. PRP has also received attention in the popular media as a result of its use in treating sports injuries in professional athletes.
