US VAC permissions granted for Episurf Medical

Episurf Medical (Nasdaq: EPIS B) today announces several recent permissions granted from health systems’ Value Analysis Committees (VACs) within the United States. While typical sales cycles begin with interest from an orthopaedic surgeon, review and access to begin doing surgeries must almost always first be granted by individual VACs. Recently, among others, the company has received approval to initiate surgeries within facilities at:

  • Vail Health System (affiliated with the Steadman Clinic) – Vail, Colorado
  • The Hospital for Special Surgery – New York, New York
  • Dartmouth Health System – Lebanon, New Hampshire

“VAC approvals are a pivotal step in our sales cycles. While we often think of our customers as orthopaedic surgeons and while this is true to some degree, in reality hospitals, surgery centers, and healthcare systems are the entities actually purchasing our products. We’re grateful some of the country’s leading and most prestigious health systems have recently granted us access, and we are looking forward to beginning productive commercial relationships with each of them,” said Patrick Jamnik, President of Episurf Medical, Inc.
