ReNerve Ltd (ASX:RNV), the innovative medtech player in peripheral nerve repair, has notched a major milestone by securing marketing approval for its flagship NervAlign® Nerve Cuff™ in Bahrain. The regulatory green light marks ReNerve’s first step into the Middle East market, in partnership with Bahrain-based distributor Union MediScience B.S.C.

The NervAlign® Nerve Cuff™ is a bioabsorbable, FDA-cleared device designed to protect and promote nerve healing. Clinical studies have showcased its potential, with patients experiencing a sharp reduction in post-surgical pain scores from 7.1 to 0.4 when the device is used—compared to a less significant drop to 3.3 without it. This game-changing technology eliminates the need for additional nerve harvesting, promising better outcomes for patients and a simpler surgical process for clinicians.

ReNerve’s entry into the Middle East is strategic. The region’s nerve repair and replacement market is valued at over USD$80 million annually, with growth rates topping 35%—a compelling opportunity amid fewer competitors compared to the saturated U.S. market. The partnership with Union MediScience, announced in December 2024, spans five key markets: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar. Together, they aim to expedite the commercial rollout and leverage Union MediScience’s established network in medical devices and solutions.

Commenting on the development, Dr. Julian Chick, CEO of ReNerve, said, “Our team has worked diligently to achieve this milestone, and we’re excited about the possibilities that Bahrain approval unlocks. This is a critical step in our global expansion strategy.”

ReNerve’s progress has been underpinned by strong sales momentum, with FY24 revenue up 38% to $177K. The company’s high-margin, scalable product suite—spanning the NervAlign® Nerve Cuff™, Nerve Graft, and next-gen Bionic Nerve—positions it to tap into the global nerve repair market, projected to surge from USD$1.96 billion in 2024 to USD$6.19 billion by 2031.

As of midday trade on May 28, ReNerve’s shares were up 9.5% at $0.115, on light volume of 31,828. While the stock is still down 42.5% over the past year, this positive catalyst could signal a turning point for investor sentiment.

Looking ahead, ReNerve’s focus remains on expanding regulatory approvals, growing commercial sales, and scaling its impact in the high-growth nerve repair sector. With Bahrain approval secured, all eyes are on the next chapters in ReNerve’s global expansion story.
