Ossdsign: Update after HC seminar and news in the spinal fusion market - Carnegie

OssDsign’s participation at Carnegie’s healthcare seminar

OssDsign attended Carnegie’s annual healthcare seminar yesterday (6 March). CEO Morten Henneveld gave a presentation about the company followed by a Q&A. Overall the tone at the presentation was very positive, with focus on the path forward for the company, what differentiates Catalyst (OssDsign’s main product) from the competition, and how the company plans to reach its sales target. We noted with interest CEO Henneveld’s claim that the 88 VAC approvals that the company currently has in the US could on their own be enough to reach the company’s sales targets – we provide an illustrative example of this later in the report. Furthermore, we gained some clarity about the PROPEL registry that the company has in the US (which is still recruiting patients). OssDsign is constantly looking for homogenous cohorts within the registry that it can run clinical studies on, and we could start to see specific patient cases published in H2(24), and hopefully a full cohort study too by YE(24).


Bonesupport’s entry into spinal market

On 5 March OssDsign peer Bonesupport announced that the FDA has granted the company’s product, Cerament BVF, approval for use with interbody cages. Bonesupport has reiterated that it will launch in spine in H2(25), but we think it could be earlier. This means a new spine competitor for OssDsign in the US. However, we believe Bonesupport’s spine launch will a have limited effect on OssDsign given the size of the market. In the US there are roughly 750,000 spinal fusion procedures performed annually, corresponding to a market size of ~USD1.8bn, according to Decision Resource Group. We do not believe that this will be a “winner takes all” market, but instead remain fragmented with several companies reaping success. Moreover, we argue that the two companies have slightly different focuses within spine: while OssDsign mainly targets current users of synthetic bone grafts, we believe Bonesupport’s edge within spine would be with the potential launch of Cerament G, bearing in mind the vast amount of off-label local antibiotics used in the US (~40% of the procedures in the US according to Bruder Consulting & Venture Group).
