The Albany Gazette - Regentis Signs Exclusive Distribution Agreement with AMI Technologies to Commercialize GelrinC(R) in Israel

HERZLIYA, IL / ACCESS Newswire / November 9, 2026 / Regentis Biomaterials Ltd. ("Regentis" or the "Company") (NYSE American:RGNT), a regenerative medicine company focused on innovative tissue repair solutions, today announced that it has entered into a four-year exclusive distribution agreement with AMI Medical Technologies Ltd. ("AMI"), a leading Israeli medical technology distributor, for the commercialization of GelrinC^®, Regentis' proprietary implant for the repair of damaged knee cartilage, in Israel.

GelrinC has regulatory approval from Israel's Ministry of Health through an AMAR medical device registration certificate for the same indication approved in Europe and being pursued in the United States. Under the agreement, AMI will serve as Regentis' exclusive distributor of GelrinC in Israel, leveraging its established relationships with leading orthopedic surgeons, hospitals and clinics throughout the country. The agreement includes minimum purchase requirements, with Regentis expecting initial revenue contributions beginning in 2027.

Founded in 1986, AMI is an established Israeli distributor of advanced medical technologies, representing some of the world's leading medical device manufacturers, including Stryker. Its orthopedic portfolio encompasses sports medicine, knee and joint replacement, surgical robotics and other advanced surgical technologies. AMI also provides clinical training, technical support and implementation services to healthcare providers.

As part of the agreement, AMI and Regentis will collaborate to establish reimbursement coverage for GelrinC with Israel's leading Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and support its adoption among orthopedic surgeons treating patients with focal cartilage defects. Until such coverage is in place, many Israeli patients may be able to access GelrinC through their private health insurance.

"Israel represents an attractive initial commercial market for GelrinC, and this agreement marks an important step in expanding our commercialization activities in parallel with what we are doing in Europe," said Ehud Geller, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of Regentis. "AMI has an extensive presence in Israel's orthopedic market, established relationships with leading surgeons and medical institutions, and a strong track record of introducing advanced medical technologies. With regulatory approval already in place, we believe AMI is well positioned to support the commercial introduction of GelrinC. We believe the agreement's minimum purchase commitments also provide a foundation for building a recurring revenue stream beginning in 2027 as we continue advancing our pivotal Phase III clinical program in the United States."

"Cartilage injuries present a significant treatment challenge, and we believe GelrinC offers an important new option for patients and orthopedic surgeons in Israel," said Rami Dulberg, President of AMI Technologies. "We are excited to add this innovative technology to our orthopedic portfolio and look forward to working with Regentis to support its commercial launch, expand patient access and establish reimbursement pathways."
