BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CorMedix Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardio-renal and infectious disease, today announced that it has received approval to commence sales of its Neutrolin® catheter lock solution in Germany from the Hessian District President. As previously disclosed, the Company has received orders from several dialysis centers and now has begun fulfilling these orders today.

"The final regulatory approval and official commercialization of Neutrolin is a noteworthy milestone for CorMedix and the culmination of several years of tireless work on the part of our team, both in the United States and Germany," said Randy Milby, Chief Executive Officer of CorMedix. "Our pre-commercial marketing efforts were strong, and we received encouraging feedback from both dialysis centers and private practice nephrologists which resulted in a number of orders.  With this approval, we have begun shipping Neutrolin to the dialysis centers so their patients can begin receiving the benefits of this important therapy."

"The progression of our key strategic initiatives since receiving CE Mark approval for Neutrolin early in the second half of 2013 has CorMedix poised for strong growth as we enter the New Year. We believe that 2014 could be a transformational year for our Company as we continue working to grow the business in Europe, the Middle East and other geographies and create shareholder value," Milby said.

In conjunction with ongoing sales and marketing of Neutrolin in Germany, the Company's 2014 strategic plan includes expanding Neutrolin sales into other targeted EU countries and other markets. Additionally, CorMedix will pursue label expansion for Neutrolin beyond its primary indication of hemodialysis, oncology, ICU, total parenteral nutrition and peritoneal dialysis.

The Neutrolin solution, which received CE Mark approval as a Class III device, includes the standard of care concentration of an anti-coagulant and a highly potent, very broad-spectrum antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) combination that is active against common microbes including antibiotic-resistant strains and inhibits the formation of biofilm. As a catheter lock solution, Neutrolin has been proven to significantly reduce the incidence of catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBIs) as well as maintain catheter patency by inhibiting thrombosis, reducing the need for systemic antibiotics and prolonging central venous catheter life.
