Strategic Milestone Achieved as CANNORDIC, a CS MEDICA Subsidiary, Navigates Regulatory Challenges to Expand Global Footprint

 

CS MEDICA Group, a leader in innovative substance-based medical devices containing bioactive CBD, is proud to announce the successful completion of the product registration process for its entire CANNASEN® portfolio of CBD-infused medical devices in Israel under its subsidiary CANNORDIC. This significant milestone, achieved in partnership with Forbe Healthcare Ltd., sets a new standard for medical device compliance and innovation in the region, as it is the first complete product portfolio of over-the-counter products containing CBD that has been approved for sale by Israel's Ministry of Health.

 

In August 2022, CANNORDIC, the manufacturing and commercial entity of CS MEDICA Group, initiated a distribution agreement with Forbe Healthcare Ltd., known for its strong distribution network across pharmacies and hospitals. The agreement covers the distribution of CANNASEN® medical device products in Israel and Palestine. It includes the distribution of 852,000 units valued at DKK 37.1 million over the next 3.5 years.

 

The strategic agreement was to launch multiple medical devices, starting with the CANNASEN® Pain Patch. After an 8-9 month product registration process at Israel's Ministry of Health, it became the first ever over-the-counter (OTC) product with CBD in Israel. Due to the new market conditions, it launched in December 2024 with a 2-month delay and has been well-received.

 

The registration process for the remaining products faced delays due to regulatory changes and regional conflicts. However, the US FDA approval previously obtained significantly facilitated the resumption and successful completion of the product registration process for the entire portfolio.

 

Lone Henriksen, CEO of CS MEDICA Group, comments: ""Despite delays due to the complex regulatory environment and the unfortunate ongoing regional challenges, the complete product registration of our 6 medical devices reflects the resilience and strategic focus of CANNORDIC and Forbe HealthCare. These factors required detailed navigation of regulatory pathways and adaptation to changing market conditions, contributing to the extended approval timeline."

 

As CANNORDIC and Forbe Healthcare finalize preparations for production and market launch, they are dedicated to adapting their strategy to reflect current market conditions, ensuring the responsible delivery of high-quality healthcare solutions.
