Seikagaku reported FY 3Q19 orthopedic revenue of ¥3,746.2 million (USD $33.8 million), +10.1% vs. 3Q18. The company’s domestic orthobiologic orders fell slightly despite share gains as the overall Japanese viscosupplement market contracted. Domestic revenue grew in the mid-single digits year over year due primarily to the soft comparison. Seikgaku’s primary growth driver was sales of the Gel-One viscosupplement (+23.1%) in the U.S., where favorable reimbursement decisions and increased marketing efforts helped the company take share. The success of Gel-One came partially at the expense of the company’s SUPARTZ FX five-injection product, as the U.S. market increasingly shifts toward single-injection treatments.
