SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kolosis BIO, LLC (Kolosis) announced today, in collaboration with MTF Biologics (MTF), the market release of Kore Fiber™, an exclusively processed demineralized cortical fiber allograft for Kolosis.

Dr. Anthony Russo, the first surgeon nationwide to implant Kore and incorporate the tissue into his practice, said, “The aseptic processing methods coupled with the favorable handling characteristics of Kore provide an excellent option for bone grafting. I have used MTF allografts extensively over 20 years, in both general orthopedic cases as well as spine surgery cases. I am a believer that MTF allografts help accelerate bone formation for my patients with less risk than available alternatives, including autograft harvest.” Dr. Russo is a partner at Montana Orthopedics in Butte, Montana.

Kolosis Chief Executive Officer Collin Begley noted, “We are extremely excited to launch Kore Fiber with MTF Biologics. Based on our commercial experience in bone grafting technologies, especially with MTF processed tissues, we see the enormous potential of this tissue-form to capture significant market share in the cortical fiber space. Kore is an aseptically-processed, 100% cortical bone matrix with tremendous handling characteristics. Extensive pre-launch testing confirms Kore’s dynamic spectrum of growth factors; attributes which are essential for promoting and accelerating bone healing. We could not be more excited to add Kore Fiber to our exclusive MTF portfolio of bone graft tissues.”

Kore Fiber is available in four different sizes of moldable fiber and three sizes of strips.
