Online, April 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Kleinostheim, Germany - The employees of curasan AG awaited the recently produced batch of Cerasorb® M with particular excitement - because amongst this batch was the one millionth bottle ready for sale. Depending on requirements, the bottles contain between 0.5 and 30 grams of the synthetic bone substitute material. The batch was part of a production order placed by Riemser Arzneimittel AG, which has been selling Cerasorb® in the dental market since mid 2008.

Dr. Fabian Peters, Technical Director at curasan AG, handed over both the 1,000,000th and the 1,000,001st unit, to Hans Dieter Rössler, CEO of curasan AG and Dr. Michael Mehler, CEO of Riemser Arzneimittel AG.

"This represents to us yet another milestone in this product's twelve-year success story. We estimate that more than 800,000 patients worldwide have been treated with the one million units sold to date", explained Hans Dieter Rössler.

Dr. Michael Mehler added: "We at Riemser Arzneimittel AG are pleased to have contributed towards the reaching of this magical number with our sales activities. Our customers in the dentistry market appreciate the value of a safe and proven product such as Cerasorb®."
