WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX-V:KNE) (“Kane Biotech”, “Kane” or the “Company”) today announces the resumption of commercial activities in both the United States and Canada for its revyve^® Antimicrobial Wound Gel product line, alongside the appointment of two seasoned industry leaders to drive business development across North America.

                                     
US FDA 510(k) cleared and Health Canada approved revyve Antimicrobial Wound Gel and revyve Antimicrobial Wound Gel Spray

Commercial Restart in the U.S. and Canada:
In the U.S., Kane has signed non-exclusive distribution/sales agreements with Medstream Healthcare Solutions, LLC (Dorval, FL) and Patient Care Medical (Austin, TX) with initial shipments expected in the near term.

In Canada, Kane has resumed commercial activity by converting its distribution agreement with Best Buy Medical Canada to a non-exclusive arrangement, along with targeted sales and sampling initiatives. While sales to date in both countries are not material, they mark a meaningful restart of Kane’s commercial engine.

“We are executing on our commitment to reset Kane Biotech using a disciplined market approach,” said Dr. Robert Huizinga, Interim CEO of Kane Biotech. “We will continue to generate scientific credibility, clinical validation and with that, the commercial infrastructure.”

Strategic Management Appointments:
To support this next phase of growth, Kane has appointed two Vice Presidents of Business Development:

• Sherida (Kay) Watkins Weaver, Vice President of Business Development, United States. Kay brings over 20 years of experience in wound care commercialization, including leadership roles at Omeza and Relevate Health.

• Patti Burke-Martin, Vice President of Business Development, Canada. Patti is a national wound care leader with senior roles at EO2 Concepts, Coloplast, and ConvaTec. She has a proven track record in building high-performing teams and driving adoption of advanced wound care technologies across Canada.
