Dusseldorf, 26 June 2024 – The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has provided interdisciplinary advice to Aesculap AG, a subsidiary of the B. Braun group seated in Melsungen, Germany, on the sale of its participation in TETEC Tissue Engineering Technologies AG, Reutlingen, Germany, to the Canadian Octane group. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction volume.
TETEC AG, which specialises in regenerative medicine, had been integrated into the international medical technology group B. Braun through the surgical division Aesculap, based in Tuttlingen, Germany. In future, Aesculap will strategically focus even more strongly on innovative medical technology relating to surgical processes in the operating room, which means that the regenerative medicine business segment no longer fits into the medical technology group's portfolio.
In the United States, B. Braun has partnered with Octane Medical for more than ten years. With the completion of the transaction, the Canadian specialist for regenerative medicine has taken over TETEC completely, including the approximately 160 highly specialised employees at the site in Reutlingen, Germany.
Octane is a global group of companies headquartered in Ontario, Canada, with subsidiaries in the United States and Europe, specialising in innovative processes, biomaterials and bioreactors for regenerative medicine. Part of the group are Octane Clinical Systems, Octane Orthobiologics, Octane Exo, Octane Biotech and Octane Biotherapeutics (BioTx).
B. Braun is one of the world's leading medical technology companies. With over 60,000 employees, B. Braun is a reliable partner that develops intelligent solutions and sets pioneering standards to accelerate progress in healthcare.
