BONESUPPORT has signed a second distribution agreement for Italy with Citieffe Srl to strengthen its access to trauma and orthopaedic surgeons in this market.

Citieffe is a trauma implant manufacturer based in Bologna. It is part of the Medistream Group, owned by ArchiMed an independent French Healthcare Investment Firm. Citieffe, which has a direct sales force in Italy with national coverage, views BONESUPPORT’s CERAMENT products as a very synergistic addition to its current implant offering to trauma surgeons in particular.

This new commercialization agreement in Italy will improve coverage for BONESUPPORT’s products in a key European market. BONESUPPORT markets its products directly in five European countries: the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark. BONESUPPORT has a commercial team of 20 people in Europe focused on driving the sales of its antibiotic-eluting injectable bio-ceramic bone substitute products, CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V.

Richard Davies, CEO of BONESUPPORT, commented: “I am pleased that we have signed this agreement withCitieffe, a commercial partner that will give us access to a portfolio of new trauma customers in the Italian market. We see Italy as a particularly important sales opportunity for CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V given the size of the market and the clear clinical and economic benefits that our antibiotic-eluting products deliver.  I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with Citieffe.”
