• Seventh GPO Agreement Signed Since EluPro’s Launch

SILVER SPRING, Md., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elutia Inc. (Nasdaq: ELUT) (“Elutia” or the “Company”), a pioneer in drug-eluting biomatrix products, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Advantus Health Partners (“Advantus”), to provide access of Elutia’s EluPro™ Antibiotic Eluting BioEnvelope to Advantus’ core group purchasing organizations (GPO) solutions portfolio.

“Teaming up with Advantus is another major step forward in meeting the strong customer demand for EluPro,” said Dr. Kimberly Mulligan, GM and VP of Elutia’s Cardiovascular Division. “Our pilot launch of EluPro has exceeded our expectations as physicians recognize the unique value that this antibiotic envelope brings in preventing infection for patients that use a cardiac implantable electronic device. Broadening our GPO coverage with Advantus allows us to benefit from their sustainable contracting solutions, making EluPro more widely available to physicians nationwide.”

EluPro is the world’s first and only antibiotic-eluting biologic envelope cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and neurostimulators. Combining powerful antibiotics with a natural extracellular matrix that regenerates into the patient’s own tissue, EluPro addresses critical post-surgical challenges, including infection, migration, and skin erosion, offering a transformative solution for both patients and clinicians. With the addition of Advantus, Elutia has now secured agreements with seven major national group purchasing organizations.

Advantus Health Partners is a health care solutions company that makes supply chain easier for its clients through streamlined supply chain management, organizational purchasing, operations and cost-savings efficiencies. With innovation at the forefront, and an advanced operational model, Advantus provides a portfolio of solutions to further drive value beyond contracting, all with the singular goal of reducing health care costs across the U.S. Advantus is committed to helping organizations meet business goals through its distinct solutions.
