MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETV & PETVW) ("PetVivo"), an emerging biomedical device company focused on the commercialization of innovative medical devices and other therapeutics for equine and companion animals, announced today it has entered into a definitive distribution agreement with Covetrus North America, LLC (“Covetrus”). Covetrus will inventory, market and promote PetVivo’s veterinary medical device, Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ technology, throughout the United States. Covetrus sales and marketing activities will commence on January 1, 2024.
"We are incredibly pleased to add Covetrus to our current distribution network to distribute our signature product, Spryng with OsteoCushion technology. By adding Covetrus to our current distribution network, they will assist PetVivo as another strategic partner that will allow our Company significant exposure to and penetration in the US animal health market. We believe this new relationship will benefit the veterinary industry, the veterinarians who provide the medical care to their patients, the animals receiving Spryng as well as the owners benefiting from the enhanced medical outcomes of their animals," stated John Lai, Chief Executive Officer for PetVivo Holdings, Inc.
SPRYNG™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, is an intra-articular injectable veterinary medical device consisting of sterilized, extra-cellular matrix microparticles. The microparticles of Spryng have been found to adsorb onto the joint synovial lining of animals and subsequently integrate with the animal’s subsynovial tissue. Such action promotes the restoration of proper joint mechanics, thereby aiding in the management of noninfectious sources of joint pain such as joint instability, degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis.
