WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX- V:KNE; OTCQB:KNBIF) (“Kane Biotech” or “Kane”) announces that it has signed an exclusive five year distribution agreement with XSONX LLC (“XSONX”) for Kane to distribute XSONX’s Wound Hygiene System in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries (the “Territories”).

The XSONX Wound Hygiene System is a cordless vibrational debridement tool which safely cleans and debrides chronic and contaminated wounds. More information can be found at www.xsonx.com

“The XSONX Wound Hygiene System is a proven contributor to chronic wound healing and will nicely complement Kane’s revyve™ product line,” said Marc Edwards, President & CEO. “I’m excited about this opportunity to partner with XSONX and to make their debridement tool widely available to wound care professionals via our distribution network.”

Kane will be introducing XSONX to Canadian practitioners starting today at the Wounds Canada National Hybrid Conference in conjunction with its revyve™ antimicrobial wound gel and revyve™ antimicrobial wound gel spray products.

“According to recently released consensus documents, 60% of wounds in the US are under debrided. I suspect this may be even higher in Canada and other international markets, making XSONX an important tool for practitioners,” said Dr. Wade Farrow, founder and CEO of XSONX. “Kane’s dedication to quality and its growing international distribution network makes them our ideal partner.”
