Collagen Solutions has secured a supply deal with Turkish medical device maker Yucel Medikal.

The agreement will see the AIM-listed company provide collagen materials and support for Yucel’s Lyocoll product.

That is used in various types of surgery to help control bleeding in veins and capillaries.

Stewart White, chief executive of Collagen Solutions, said: “This supply agreement further demonstrates the range of products that our medical grade collagens are suitable for and the global nature of our reach.”

Senol Yucel, chief executive of Yucel, said: “Consistency of product and continuity of supply are two very important factors for us and we have carried out a thorough review of the capabilities of Collagen Solutions to deliver the specific collagen that we require for Lyocoll.”
