“Initially, Generex made an initial payment of $400,000 to secure the agreement, which is set to expand the company’s medical device portfolio.”

Olaregen Therapeutix CEO Anthony Dolisi said: “This is an exciting time for the team at Olaregen, which was established with the primary purpose of commercialising Excellagen, a proprietary, patented, advanced wound healing product that has been FDA cleared based on excellent clinical results and has a 17-year patent protection.

“The Generex family of companies provides a unique opportunity to execute our commercial launch strategy to deliver product through surgical centres, department of defense, operating rooms, VA system, wound care centres, as well as podiatrists’ offices on the front line in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with wounds and ulcers resulting from diabetes and cardiovascular complications.”

Olaregen is planning the commercial launch of its flowable dermal matrix Excellagen, a 510K FDA cleared medical device intended for use for a variety of wound types. Recently it secured a US patent with a 17-year right of exclusivity.
