Key points

US sales momentum builds after Department of Defense hospital approvals Humanitarian deployment in Ukraine provides real-world trauma evidence Expansion targeted into EU and UK alongside Asia and Canada Strong cash balance, no debt, and low logistics costs underpin growth potential

Orthocell (ASX:OCC) flags global growth as nerve repair demand builds. Orthocell reports quarterly revenue of $3.2 million, which Non Executive Chairman John Van Der Wielen describes as in line with internal expectations, with a notable March uptick in US sales. Van Der Wielen highlights recent US Department of Defense hospital approvals and regards this as a significant validation of the company’s nerve repair product, REGENERA. He states that more than 100 US hospitals are now trained, and he expects a sharp revenue ramp-up over coming quarters as surgeon adoption increases.

Van Der Wielen points to humanitarian use in Ukraine as a key real-world proof point. Orthocell has shipped hundreds of units for battlefield trauma, and he says surgeons are reporting successful use in operating theatres on injured soldiers. He notes that a leading Ukrainian surgeon is visiting Perth to present clinical experience, which he views as supporting regulatory credibility and further defence-related adoption.

Global expansion remains a core focus. Van Der Wielen says regulatory applications are underway in the EU and UK, with approvals anticipated before year-end, adding to existing markets including Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Canada. He emphasises Orthocell’s strong $48 million cash position, no debt, minimal logistics costs, and views the stock as a de-risked, defensive healthcare exposure.
