Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holdings Group (HKG:0460) gained the exclusive distribution rights for the CartiZol in China from South Korean Cellontech, a Tuesday filing with the Hong Kong Exchange said.
CartiZol is an intra-articular injection using collagen which strengthens, protects, and lubricates the joints and is used for the treatment of Osteoarthritis. It can reduce the effects of joint swelling and pain.
It absorbs shocks, reduces friction, and improves visco-elasticity of the joints. It also helps in the natural healing process of the joints by replenishing and coating the damaged cartilage tissues.
The company also obtained exclusive distribution rights for Cellontech Korea's porcine collagen medical aesthetic filler products in China in 2023. The porcine collagen being a de-immunogenic collagen, makes it the safest and most cost-effective collagen product.
The company's shares were up 6% on Tuesday's close.
