ELUT Elutia Inc

Elutia Inc. (Nasdaq: ELUT) (“Elutia” or the “Company”), a pioneer in drug-eluting biomatrix products, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Vizient for the benefit of Southern Strategic Sourcing Partners (S3P), to provide access to Elutia’s innovative EluPro™ Antibiotic Eluting BioEnvelope to S3P’s extensive network of 993 acute care facilities, starting immediately.

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.

“We are excited to partner with S3P to expand access to EluPro, our innovative solution for preventing post-surgical device complications,” said Dr. Randy Mills, Chief Executive Officer of Elutia. “This marks a pivotal milestone as we secure our second major GPO partnership ahead of EluPro’s full commercial launch later this month. With SP3’s extensive network spanning over a dozen U.S. states, this collaboration significantly accelerates our mission to deliver life-changing technology to more patients, empowering them to heal and thrive without compromise.”

S3P is a leading healthcare supply chain aggregation group comprised of 91 health systems, representing 993 acute care facilities and over $4 billion in annual spend.
