Sedana Medical enters India – signs Indian distributor
Sedana Medical AB (publ) (SEDANA: FN Stockholm) today announced a distribution agreement with the Indian distributor Hansraj Nayyar Medical. Sales will commence in the fall and a registration process will start in parallel. Hansraj Nayyar has committed to a first framework order of 25,000 euros. The Indian market potential for sedation in intensive care is estimated to be around two million ventilation days annually.
"Hansraj Nayyar is a pioneer in Indian intensive care and it is very gratifying that they will now launch our therapy." said Christer Ahlberg, CEO of Sedana Medical.
Under the agreement, Hansraj Nayyar is expected to order products from Sedana Medical for at least SEK 1 million during the first year of the contract and at least SEK 2 million the following year. Hansray Nayyar will have two people focused on Sedana Medical's therapy and 15 sales representatives will have AnaConDa in their portfolio.
Neither AnaConDa nor IsoConDa have market approval in India but according to current legislation and thanks to the registration in Europe, AnaConDa can be sold during the registration period. Sedana Medical will work closely with Hansraj Nayyar in the registration process. The company's founder and principal owner Chetan Nayyar has an extensive network in Indian intensive care and was one of the initiators of the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine.
