Bright Optical to distribute Bio-Tissue’s Prokera in Canada
Bio-Tissue and Bright Optical are collaborating to bring Bio-Tissue’s Prokera biologic corneal bandage devices to Canada, according to a press release.
Prokera corneal bandages, used in healing and treating corneal-involved dry eye, keratitis, recurrent corneal erosions and other ocular surface diseases, are the only devices cleared by Health Canada to reduce inflammation and promote regenerative healing of the ocular surface, the release said.
“We are excited about this collaboration, as well as the significant milestone of the Health Canada approval, which will help patients in Canada gain access to our innovative regenerative healing technology,” Thomas G. Daniells, chief commercial officer at Bio-Tissue, said in the release.
Bright Optical already distributes Bio-Tissue’s Cliradex and Cliradex Light in Canada.
