VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ondine Biomedical, Inc., an innovative medical solutions company, today announced that they have entered into an exclusive agreement with Southmedic, Inc., Barrie, ON, Canada to distribute their first medical solution for the chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patient, SurgENTTM, throughout Canada.
The terms of this agreement allow Southmedic to employ their sales and marketing expertise to distribute Ondine's SurgENT sinus irrigation catheter product across Canada. The distribution agreement may be expanded with additional products in the future.
