Starting summer 2011, Stryker anticipates launching the products in selected European countries to be potentially followed by further target markets.
"Partnering with Stryker, a powerful global leader with experience in biologicals and biomaterials, opens up the highest-volume market segment for us, namely, orthopedics", stated curasan's CEO, Hans Dieter Rössler.
David Halliday, VP Spine, Biotech CMF with responsibility for these product lines across Europe similarly expressed his satisfaction with the new partnership: “Once Stryker Europe decided to commit to focusing its sales efforts on the high-growth biomaterials market, the joint venture with curasan was an excellent strategic match."
