James J. Cassidy, Ph.D. is managing director at Artoss. Dr. Cassidy told OTW, “Artoss worked with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor, Owens & Minor, to register the full NanoBone Bone Graft product line. The Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) allows the DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain to distribute NanoBone to Department of Defense Healthcare facilities.”
