POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Technologies Inc. (OTC: BSEM), a leading MedTech company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of placental-derived biologics for advanced wound care, announces it will initiate a nationwide launch of Vendaje AC® with Venture Medical, LLC, the Company’s exclusive sales and marketing partner.

Jason Matuszewski, CEO of BioStem Technologies Inc., commented: “This is a pivotal moment for BioStem Technologies. With nationwide Medicare reimbursement, Vendaje AC® becomes our second product available to patients across all 50 states. The launch of Vendaje AC® underscores our commitment to delivering innovative wound care solutions for patients suffering from chronic, non-healing wounds. We’re excited to collaborate with Venture Medical once again, whose partnership was instrumental in the success of AmnioWrap2®. Together, we’re expanding access to cutting-edge treatments that make a real difference in patient outcomes.”
John Schroeder, CEO of Venture Medical, LLC, added: “With countless graft products available today, we’re proud to partner with BioStem Technologies, a company that prioritizes clinical efficacy in everything they do. Vendaje AC®, manufactured using the innovative BioREtain® process, retains the critical elements of placental tissue—structural components, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory cytokines—that are essential for effective wound healing. This breakthrough allows us to offer healthcare providers and Medicare beneficiaries a powerful, reimbursable solution tailored to meet the needs of patients with non-healing wounds. Together, we’re bringing a meaningful solution to those who need it most.”
About Vendaje AC®:
Available by prescription through healthcare providers in all 50 states, Vendaje AC offers patients with non-healing wounds an advanced wound care option that acts as a protective barrier or covering to provide an environment for wound healing and closure. Vendaje AC is a thicker human connective tissue matrix comprised of dehydrated amniotic/chorionic tissue. Manufactured using BioStem’s patented six-step proprietary BioREtain® process, Vendaje AC naturally contains extracellular matrix scaffolding, which provides mechanical protection and functional support for cell attachment, growth factors that help modulate proliferation and angiogenesis, and cytokines that inhibit inflammatory effects, all of which are critical in aiding the body’s natural healing cascade.
