Regulatory News:

STENTYS (Paris:STNT) (FR0010949404 — STNT), a medical technology company commercializing the world's first and only Self-Apposing^® stent to treat acute myocardial infarction (AMI), today announces the creation of a branch office in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). This new entity supports the distribution network deployed in the Middle East since 2013, which today includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Egypt.

The STENTYS employees who will support the distributors in these various countries will also be responsible for training cardiologists, notably in anticipation of next year’s launch of the Sirolimus-eluting stent and its new delivery system.

Gonzague Issenmann, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of STENTYS, explains: "Establishing this office in Dubai is a tangible illustration of our strategic focus on global commercial development, especially in the fast-growing Middle East stent market where the demand for our Self-Apposing stent has been increasingly strong.”
