Xtant Medical Announces FDA Approval of OsteoSelect(R) PLUS

08/25/15

BELGRADE, Mont., Aug. 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX:BONE), a leader in the development of regenerative medicine products and medical devices, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Bacterin International, Inc., has received FDA 510(k) clearance of OsteoSelect PLUS Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) Putty.

OsteoSelect PLUS is a next-generation DBM putty, comprised of OsteoSelect Putty with the addition of demineralized cortical chips. Aligned with the Company's commitment to patient safety, OsteoSelect PLUS will provide another Sterile grafting solution for customers. This new product will also eliminate the need to mix bone chips and DBM putty intra-operatively, saving time and reducing graft variability.

"We are very pleased with the FDA's decision to approve OsteoSelect PLUS for marketing and distribution," said Dr. Gregory Juda, Bacterin's Chief Scientific Officer. "We developed this next generation bone graft material in response to surgeon demand using design input from surgeon customers. Because of their involvement in the development process, we are confident that OsteoSelect PLUS will be successfully received in the market and will serve to make our comprehensive product portfolio even stronger."

With this notice and clearance from the FDA, Xtant Medical is prepared to launch OsteoSelect PLUS to customers in Q4 2015. The Company will work with its primary GPO and IDN customers to add this product to current contracts, making it available immediately upon product launch. This is the first 510(k) approval for Bacterin International since becoming a subsidiary of Xtant Medical, and will be the first of many planned product releases, as management focuses on rounding out the combined product portfolio. This new product will help drive the Company's growth and provides an opportunity for increased market share.
