BELGRADE, MT, – June 13, 2011 – Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (“Bacterin”) (NYSE Amex: BONE), a creator and developer of revolutionary bone graft material and anti-microbial coatings for medical applications, today announced a five-year agreement with ROi (Resource Optimization & Innovation), a recognized leader in health care supply chain management, to provide the OsteoSpongeÒ product line, OsteoSelectÒDBM Putty, milled and traditional allografts, and the Elutia® Coated Wound Drain to ROi’s nationwide network of hospitals and medical practices. The group purchasing agreement became effective, after performing months of research and evaluation of the Bacterin product lines.
“ROi has developed an industry-wide reputation for innovative, technology-driven, results-oriented approaches to improving supply chain performance, and is a recent recipient of the Nationwide 2010 Search for Supply Chain Excellence Award. The inclusion of our products in ROi’s network is indeed a validation of our technology, as ROi uniquely includes physicians, clinicians, hospital leaders and other purchasing decision-makers’ input on product portfolio selection. As a consequence, a number of surgeons affiliated with several hospitals within the ROi network have supported our entrance into the network and have been eagerly awaiting final approval to begin using our product line,” stated Guy Cook, founder and CEO of Bacterin International.
