CHICAGO, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TAG – The Aspen Group, a nationwide leader in consumer health care, and ACE Surgical Supply, a leading global provider of bone regenerative products, today announced a multi-year strategic partnership for bone grafting solutions.

TAG's brands include Aspen Dental, a network of nearly 1,000 doctor-owned dental offices across 45 states, and ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, a leader in fixed full arch dental restorations for patients with missing or failing dentition with more than 75 locations across 30 states.

ACE is accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks and has built a strong, reliable supply chain for biomaterials, sourcing from multiple tissue banks to ensure a consistent and robust supply. Over the years, ACE has built a complete portfolio of high quality, clinically and scientifically proven bone regenerative solutions, and offers many new innovative products, offering clinicians more options for treating patients.

Products available to teams at Aspen Dental and ClearChoice offices will include alloOss® Allograft, NuOss® Xenograft Particulate, NuOss® Plug, MemGuide Resorbable Porcine Membrane, RCM6® Resorbable Collagen Membrane, Resorbable Collagen Plug, Foam and Tape, and several of the company's other products.

"At TAG, our core mission remains breaking down barriers and expanding access to care, keeping patients at the center," said Arwinder Judge, DDS, chief clinical officer at Aspen Dental. "We do this by providing the best resources, training, technology and treatment products to the doctors we support, so they can focus on providing attentive, tailored care to their patients. This partnership with a world-class provider like ACE Surgical Supply will support exactly that."

"We're very excited to support TAG and the doctors they support across the country as they treat more patients with bone regenerative products," said Michael Mancini, GM and chief operating officer for ACE Surgical Supply.
