Exactech Inc.01.04.16
Exactech Inc., which makes bone and joint restoration products for hip, knee, shoulder and spine, has divested its dental biologics business to Salvin Dental Specialties Inc., through its Salvin Regenerative subsidiary. Salvin Dental makes regenerative biomaterials and surgical instrumentation specifically for implant dentistry. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“While it has been a pleasure to provide Exactech’s biologic innovations to the dental market for more than 10 years, we have made the strategic decision to focus more exclusively on our core orthopedic business,” said Exactech’s senior vice president and general manager of spine and biologics Bruce Thompson. “We have enjoyed a long-standing distribution relationship with Salvin, which gives us confidence that they will take good care of our dental customers in their pursuit of improving patient care.”
Exactech’s former Dental Biologics Division supplies the dental market with leading dental biologic products including Optecure and Oralife. Optecure Dental is an engineered bone graft for reconstruction and augmentation of deficient maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges and dental intraosseous defects.
According to Founder and CEO Bob Salvin, Exactech has an exciting dental product line and this acquisition will provide Salvin with additional product depth and manufacturing capabilities.
