HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - One of the largest comprehensive marketing, promotion and channel management service providers dedicated to imported pharmaceutical products and medical devices in China, China Pioneer Pharma Holdings Limited ("China Pioneer Pharma" or the "Company" or the "Group"; HK:1345), is pleased to announce that a UNITY Balloon Expandable Bioresorbable Hybrid Biliary / Peripheral Vascular Stent, a medical device produced by QualiMed Innovative Medizinprodukte GmbH ("QualiMed"), was implanted successfully for the first time in Southeast Asia. China Pioneer Pharma is the distributor of QualiMed's medical products for vascular disease treatment in mainland China and throughout Southeast Asia. The company also owns about 36.57% shares of Q3 Medical Devices Limited, which is the holding company of QualiMed.
The novel UNITY Balloon Expandable Bioresorbable Hybrid Biliary/Peripheral Vascular Stent combines a bioresorbable magnesium center and a bioresorable polymer outer. It is a device that will disappear over time and could eliminate the removal procedure significantly reducing the cost and complications associated with such surgeries. After the completion of the first in man study, QualiMed will initiate a similar trial for peripheral indications and expects to conduct its trial for coronary procedures in the second half of 2016. The UNITY Biliary approval is forecasted for the 2nd half of 2016, followed by UNITY Peripheral, and UNITY Coronary devices respectively.*
Mr. LI Xinzhou, Chairman and Executive Director of China Pioneer Pharma said: "This is a significant milestone not only for the QualiMed but also for the medical field. Compared with the traditional plastic stent, biodegradable implants will improve efficacy and eliminate cost for the patients, care givers, and insurance providers. As the exclusive distributor of QualiMed's medical products for vascular disease treatment throughout Southeast Asia, we believe this breakthrough will improve the Medical and health care industry remarkably.
