(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bioventus, a leader in orthobiologic solutions, announced it has selected MEDSERVICE to distribute DUROLANE® in Russia.

“We are pleased to make DUROLANE available to patients in Russia again,” said Tony Bihl, CEO, Bioventus. “This market is important to our growth in Europe and our international growth strategy overall as we strive to bring our orthobiologic solutions to patients worldwide.”
“MEDSERVICE is off to a great start with DUROLANE in Moscow and we will quickly expand to other cities and regions in Russia this year,” said Andrew McCartney, Managing Director International, for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Bioventus. “The MEDSERVICE team, and the company’s objective to help increase and develop the range of medical products and services provided to patients, is in complete alignment with Bioventus as we work together with the health care community in Russia to help people resume and enjoy active lives.”
