Peptonic Medical AB (publ) announced that the company has agreed with the world's largest retail chain Walmart to begin selling Peptonic's self-test for bacterial vaginosis. The distribution agreement with Walmart, which has approximately 10,500 stores worldwide, of which just under 5,000 are in the United States, primarily applies to Peptonic's patented self-test for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis. The test will be sold under Walmart's own brand.

What makes the test unique is the combination of high precision and immediate results. The distribution agreement applies to the United States and Walmart is now conducting an overview of stores currently for distribution. In Peptonic's American organization, since the beginning of summer 2023, Angella Garcia is responsible for retail chains.

Angella has extensive experience in sales to these channels in the US, but also in medtech. Through the agreement with Walmart, there is also a dialogue about the distribution of a further selection of Peptonic's current and future products. Pharmiva's product Vernivia will be an excellent and unique treatment solution for the self-test for bacterial vaginosis.

Peptonic expects the agreement to have a positive impact on the company's sales from 2024.
