Yorkshire dental business targets South America

Silsden-based dental supplies company, EthOss Regeneration, is continuing to expand internationally, signing deals with new partners in Chile and Colombia.

The company has grown its export business into South America following an extensive registration process.

The firm’s flagship product, EthOss®, an innovative material that encourages new bone growth during dental implant procedures, is now going to be available to dental practitioners and patients across Chile and Colombia.

In 2019, EthOss Regeneration saw rapid worldwide expansion with international export sales of more than £1.1m.

Dr Paul Harrison, managing director of EthOss Regeneration, said: “We’re thrilled to be starting 2020 with a move into a new continent, agreeing deals with partners in both Colombia and Chile.
“This expansion builds further on the rapid growth we experienced globally in 2019 and cements our position as a leader in our field.”

Since launching in 2015, EthOss’s pioneering material has continued to gain significant traction within the dental implantology sector due to its unique composition and capabilities. The product is entirely synthetic, unlike the cow-bone based materials traditionally used during bone grafting. It is a revolutionary step forward for the industry as it removes the need for a separate collagen membrane during procedures.

Dr Harrison, added: “Our expansion into South America proves testimony to the international success of EthOss® to date.

“Clinicians around the world have been particularly drawn to the fact that our product has an integrated barrier membrane, which saves practitioners both time and money, and, of course, the fact that we provide an alternative to the animal-based products which have historically dominated our industry.

“It’s fantastic to see EthOss® being embraced globally.”
