Under terms of the agreement, BioStat will have importation, marketing, sales, and distribution oversight responsibility for the entire CELOX™ portfolio for all military and civilian pre-hospital trauma care. Biostat is already working with a carefully selected range of distributors to ensure that the products are available to all emergency services and look forward to welcoming more distributors into their rapidly-expanding network.
In addition to its selection as the primary importer and distributor of CELOX™ gauze, granules and application products, BioStat has launched MedTrade’s newest product, CELOX™ RAPID in the U.S. “These important hemostatic products first surfaced a few years ago in response to military needs, but have shown to be equally important in the civilian market. We are excited to help save lives with CELOX™ RAPID, the newest generation of hemostatic devices,” said Chris Marsden, MedTrade’s Head of Marketing.
CELOX™ is an FDA approved medical device and recently surpassed competitive products when reviewed by the U.S. Office of Naval Research.
