Kuros Biosciences reports MagnetOs products approved in Australia

Schlieren (Zurich), Switzerland, October 5, 2020 – Kuros Biosciences BV, the Dutch subsidiary of Kuros Biosciences AG (SIX: KURN), today announced that MagnetOs Granules and MagnetOs Putty have both been entered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods allowing marketing and sales on the Australian market.  Surgical Specialties Pty Ltd, Kuros’s Australian distributor, intends to start marketing MagnetOs as soon as it is listed on The Prostheses List, anticipated on March 1, 2021. The Prostheses List identifies the medical devices, including surgically implanted prostheses and human tissue items, that are eligible for reimbursement from all private health insurers.

Joost de Bruijn, Chief Executive Officer of Kuros, said: “We are delighted that MagnetOs has achieved regulatory approval in Australia and that we will soon be able to add MagnetOs to the bone grafting options of clinicians and patients in Australia.  We would also like to thank Surgical Specialties, our partner in Australia, for their work enabling this approval.”

MagnetOs is supported by a growing set of data demonstrating equivalence to the current gold standard, autograft, with over three years of clinical experience since its first use in the UK in May 2017. Sales are accelerating and this approval in Australia is a step towards the further use of MagnetOs around the world.
