Bioheart Announces Agreement With Anosis to Distribute Products in the Middle East
SUNRISE, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 25, 2013) - Bioheart, Inc. (OTCQB: BHRT), a biotech company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of autologous cell therapies for the treatment of chronic and acute heart damage as well as severe peripheral vascular disease announces that it has entered into an agreement with Anosis, a company organized in Turkey. According to the distribution agreement, Anosis will distribute Bioheart therapies in Turkey, Azerbajian, Kazakhistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia and Iraq.
Anosis is a large distribution company focused on bringing medical devices and regenerative medicine to patients in the Middle East. Bioheart therapies including MyoCell™ (muscle derived stem cells) and AdipoCell™ (adipose derived stem cells) will be used to treat a variety of indications including heart disease, limb ischemia, COPD, diabetes, and more. Anosis has successfully completed a study of 50 patients suffering from critical limb ischemia using the adipose derived stem cells. Results from this study are not published yet. In previous Bioheart studies for patients with chronic non-healing ulcer wounds due to critical limb ischemia, 75% of the patients have avoided limb amputation.
"We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Anosis and provide our cutting edge therapies to additional areas in the Middle East. Stem Cells are naturally anti-inflammatory and pro-healing and we believe that our therapies can successfully be utilized in many degenerative diseases," said Kristin Comella, CSO of Bioheart, Inc.
