Following the market entry of its new wound care product Omnigen, a dry preserved amniotic membrane-derived therapy, into NHS and private healthcare ophthalmic market, NuVision Biotherapies is extending its reach by working with MED Surgical as its new distributor for the whole of Ireland.

"Surgeons in England have found Omnigen to be convenient, easy to use and effective in the treatment of ocular surface disorders, and we look forward to offering the same opportunity for use to Irish ophthalmic surgeons”
