Kleinostheim, Germany, 28th April 2010 – 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.
