Business Wire
Crescita Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: CTX and OTC US:
CRRTF) (“Crescita” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented,
innovation-driven Canadian commercial dermatology company, today
announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement
(the “Agreement”) with NanoPass Technologies Ltd. (“NanoPass”), a
pioneer in the development and commercialization of an advanced
intradermal delivery device, to launch and distribute
MicronJetTM600 (“MicronJet”) in the Canadian medical aesthetics
market.
MicronJet is an innovative intradermal injection device,
leveraging the proven MEMS technology, that offers a highly
effective, consistent and virtually pain-free delivery of aesthetic
products and therapeutic substances. With three 0.6mm, silicon
crystal-made delivery pyramids, MicronJet can be attached to
standard syringes and will provide aesthetic clinicians with the
least invasive and most precise intradermal delivery on the market
today, allowing administration to delicate and sensitive areas such
as around the eyes, neck and décolleté area, as well as to the full
face, for optimal patient outcomes.
“MicronJet is a great addition to our medical aesthetic
portfolio, enhancing our offerings alongside NCTF®135 HA, Art
Filler® and Pliaglis®. This novel device provides precision in
penetration depth, no bruising and comfortable injection, all of
which are welcomed by medical practitioners and patients alike,”
stated Serge Verreault, President and CEO of Crescita. “Bringing
innovative products to Canadian practitioners and patients aligns
with our strategic vision to establish ourselves as a leading
player in our market,” added Mr. Verreault.
Crescita will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approval
for MicronJet from Health Canada and plans to launch the product
promptly thereafter, which is currently anticipated to be in the
first half of 2025. MicronJet has been accepted by patients
worldwide and is supported by over 70 clinical studies and multiple
peer reviewed publications. MicronJet is CE marked, U.S. FDA
cleared, ISO 13485 certified and is currently approved in Australia
and several other jurisdictions in Europe, Asia and the Middle
East.
Daniel Levitats, CEO of NanoPass, added, “We're thrilled to
collaborate with Crescita to bring advanced delivery solutions to
the Canadian market and support more clinicians in expanding their
practice, delivering improved patient outcomes, and increasing
treatment satisfaction. This collaboration marks an exciting step
in NanoPass’s commercial growth goals towards becoming the new
intradermal delivery standard.”
