Initial shipments, which will be reflected in the fourth quarter results, have been made for Germany and Saudi Arabia. Altrazeal® has now been launched onto the German market with the sales force completing extensive training on January 6, 2015.
Commenting on the Altrazeal® launch in Germany, Helmut Kerschbaumer, Managing Director of Altrazeal Trading AG, stated, “We are very pleased to have launched Altrazeal® onto the German market.
