Arizona Tribune - Regentis Biomaterials Develops and Patents New Solvent-Free Manufacturing Process That Increases GelrinC Production Yield by 400%

HERZLIYA, IL / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Regentis Biomaterials Ltd. ("Regentis" or the "Company") (NYSE American:RGNT), a regenerative medicine company focused on innovative tissue repair solutions, today announced it has developed a new manufacturing process for its lead product, GelrinC^®, an off-the-shelf hydrogel synchronized erosion and resorbable implant for the treatment of painful injuries to focal articular knee cartilage. The proprietary new process does not require the use of organic solvents which are not only flammable and toxic but also take up a major portion of the manufacturing process volume. This new solvent-free process more than quadruples production yield per batch.

"In preparation for GelrinC's commercial launch in Europe, planned for later this year, we have been developing and patenting proprietary improvements to our GelrinC manufacturing process that will improve production economics and corresponding gross margins," said Dr. Ehud Geller, CEO and Executive Chairman of Regentis.

Regentis has filed patents worldwide for its solvent-free GelrinC manufacturing process that have already been granted in India, China and Israel, and is pending in the US.

GelrinC has CE Mark approval in the European Union and Regentis is conducting a pivotal U.S. Food and Drug Administration study which has completed over 50% enrollment.
