HILLSBORO, Oregon, March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Acumed LLC today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Vivorte Inc. to be the exclusive distributor of the Louisville-based company's orthobiologics portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, Acumed will employ its sales, marketing, and medical education expertise to distribute Vivorte's calcium phosphate-based bone allograft (Trabexus) and calcium phosphate-based biocement (Fortera). Vivorte will continue to utilize its product development and manufacturing capabilities to support the distribution.
"As a leader in the orthopaedic sector, Acumed is committed to providing the most comprehensive clinical solutions to our surgeons and this partnership with Vivorte allows us to deliver a best-in-class portfolio of orthobiologic technologies," said Jagi Gill, Vice President/General Manager of AcuVentures at Acumed.
