CartiHeal CEO Nir Altschuler advised “Globes,” “This is the 1st product or service in the world to obtain Fda approval for expanding unscarred cartilage tissues. When we began to establish the products, buyers said that I have not obtained a prospect that tries to renew cartilage have been a ‘graveyard’ for so significantly income for companies huge and smaller. In health-related publications, less than cartilage degeneration, it can be created that there is no answer and degenerative cartilage will not mature again.”

CartiHeal was established in 2009 and at present has 30 staff members in Kfar Saba and its center will almost certainly remain in Israel following the acquisition but Altschuler himself is expected to depart right after the sale is concluded.
