NEW YORK, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cresilon Inc. ("Cresilon"), a Brooklyn-based biotechnology company focused on hemostatic medical device technologies, today announced it has entered into a distribution agreement for VETIGEL® to be sold directly to veterinary surgeons in Canada through McCarthy Vet, a full-service veterinary marketing, supply and distribution company exclusively serving veterinarians in the Canadian animal health industry.
VETIGEL, a revolutionary plant-based hemostatic gel that instantly stops and controls bleeding, is now available for veterinarian surgeons across Canada through McCarthy Vet. The agreement with McCarthy Vet, a family-owned and operated company that has exclusively served the Canadian veterinary community for over 60 years, is Cresilon's first veterinary distribution partnership in Canada.

"VETIGEL has been used by thousands of veterinarians around the world and helps veterinary clinics and animal hospitals save time, reduce operating costs, and improve patient outcomes."
Since the product's debut in 2021, veterinary surgeons across North America, Europe, and Asia have increasingly used VETIGEL as the fastest and most effective hemostatic agent when treating animals for traumatic wounds and routine and complex surgical procedures, including dental extractions, liver biopsies, tumor and mass removals, cleft palate repairs, and amputations. To date, the plant-based hemostatic gel for veterinary surgeons has been used in more than 60,000 surgical procedures worldwide.

New Trump Mobile brand offers 5G plan and MAGA-themed gold phone
For years, President Trump has had a famous affinity for his personal cell phone. He's been known to rely on the device to contact world leaders, arrange business deals, and answer calls from a flurry of daily unknown numbers —often in spite of potential security threats. Early this month, The Atlantic called him 'the ultimate Phone Guy' in an article detailing his aides' concerns around his phone use. Now, The Trump Organization appears to be spinning Trump's 'Phone Guy' reputation into yet another business venture: a mobile service and smartphone brand called Trump Mobile. According to a press release published Monday, Trump Mobile—also known as 'T1 Mobile'—is a 'new cellular service designed to deliver top-tier connectivity, unbeatable value and all-American service.' The release notes that the brand will provide 5G service through all three major cellular carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon). Its flagship offering, 'The 47 Plan,' costs $47.75 per month and includes features like roadside assistance, unlimited data, and telehealth services. Alongside the cellular plan, Trump Mobile is debuting a $499 gold smartphone called the 'T1 Phone,' slated for release this fall. Gold all the way down The site itself features an ultra-simple, almost bare-bones design—including a blocky, all-caps sans-serif font, gold accents, and several stock images of smiling customers. Along a similar vein, available renderings of the T1 Phone include a mocked-up home screen with the slogan ' Make America Great Again ' rendered beneath a 'Trump Mobile' logo, as well as the back of the phone, which is embossed with an image of the American flag and the 'T1' symbol. The phone's operating system is an Android 15. While it's unclear exactly how the phone's gold hue has been achieved, the look echoes an emerging design theme from Trump's second term. In 2004, Trump told reporters that the reign of Louis XIV represented his 'favorite style,' and since taking office this January, echoes of that gilded inspiration have appeared in several places around the President. In the Oval Office itself, Trump has implemented a slew of gold decor. Last month, he accepted a luxury jet from Qatar that's decked out in gold furniture. And last week, Trump debuted a physical 'gold card' visa scheme as a dubious way to allow wealthy immigrants into the U.S. Now, the T1 Phone, like the countless other pieces of Trump merch before it, will serve as a piece of walking advertising for the President's personal brand. Blurred lines between office and profit The Trump Organization's new phone business is the most recent in a large existing catalog of licensing deals and branded-merch agreements that rely on the President's likeness—from guitars and Bibles, to watches, sneakers, and fragrances. According to a financial disclosure form filed last Friday, these income streams represented more than $8 million in profits for the President in 2024. In order to avoid potential conflicts of interest, The Trump Organization (which manages the majority of Trump's business ventures) reported ahead of Trump's inauguration that control of the company would be given to his children for the duration of his term. Based on the press release, Trump Mobile will be spearheaded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. And, because the brand uses the Trump name through a trademark license, its website notes that 'its products and services are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals.' Still, experts say there are still plenty of ethical concerns around Trump's business ventures. This term, Trump stands to profit from holdings in cryptocurrency, real estate, social media, and consumer products, all of which are bolstered by his status as President. In an interview with Reuters, Paolo Pescatore, TMT analyst at PP Foresight, explained that this new cellular business presents new questions, given that Trump Mobile's actual commercial relationship with telecom players is 'unclear.' In a series of interviews this morning, Trump's sons indicated that Trump Mobile phones would be 'American-made,' with a call center located in St. Louis, Missouri. This emphasis on American manufacturing, echoed on the website, comes in the wake of Trump's sweeping tariffs, which has put phone manufacturing in its crosshairs, given that most phones (and phone components) purchased in the U.S. are made in China, Vietnam, South Korea, and India. Trump Mobile did not immediately respond to Fast Company 's request for clarification on the phones' manufacturers, designers, and distributors. 'No one who has been paying attention could miss that President Trump considers the presidency a vehicle to grow his family's wealth,' Lawrence Lessig, a law professor at Harvard Law School, told Reuters of Trump Mobile. 'Maybe this example will help more come to see this undeniable truth.'

Leonard Lauder, philanthropist who globalized family cosmetic business, dies at age 92
NEW YORK (AP) — Leonard Lauder, a renowned philanthropist who expanded the family cosmetics business into a worldwide empire, has died at the age of 92. Estee Lauders Cos. announced the news in a release on Sunday and said he died on Saturday surrounded by family. Lauder, the oldest son of Estee and Joseph H. Lauder, who founded the company in 1946, formally joined the New York business in 1958. Over more than six decades, Lauder played a key role in transforming the business from a handful of products sold under a single brand in U.S. stores to a multi-brand global giant. He had held the title of chairman emeritus at the time of his death. Estee Lauder's products are sold in roughly 150 countries and territories under brand names including Clinique and Aveda, according to the company's latest annual report. The company generated sales of nearly $16 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the filing said. Estee Lauder went public in 1995, but members of Lauder family still have about 84% of the voting power of common stock, according to the latest annual filing. Lauder served as president of The Estée Lauder Cos. from 1972 to 1995 and as CEO from 1982 through 1999. He was named chairman in 1995 and served in that role through June 2009. Under his stewardship, Lauder created the company's first research and development laboratory, brought in professional management at every level, and was the impetus behind The Estée Lauder Cos.' international expansion, helping to spearhead the company's sales and profits exponentially, according to the company. Lauder led the launch of many brands including Aramis, Clinique, and Lab Series, among others. Until his death, he remained deeply involved in the company's acquisition strategy, including the acquisitions of such brands as Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone London and MAC, the company said. During his years as chairman emeritus, Lauder was closely involved in the business and day-to-day operations and was a constant fixture at its global headquarters in New York and at its stores around the world until the time of his death, the company said. 'Throughout his life, my father worked tirelessly to build and transform the beauty industry, pioneering many of the innovations, trends, and best practices that are foundational to the industry today,' said William P. Lauder, son and chair of the board at The Estée Lauder Companies in a statement. 'He was the most charitable man I have ever known, believing that art and education belonged to everyone, and championing the fight against diseases such as Alzheimer's and breast cancer. ' Lauder was a longtime patron of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and, in 2013, pledged his 78-piece collection of Cubist art to the museum in the largest single philanthropic gift in the museum's history. He later added five major works to that pledged gift, the company said. In concert with his Cubist collection donation, he helped establish the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art at the Met to support a program of fellowships, focused exhibitions, and public lectures. He also was the Whitney Museum of American Art's chairman emeritus and a trustee from 1977 to 2011. Lauder was married to Evelyn H. Lauder, who had been the senior corporate vice president at the cosmetic company and the founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, from 1959 until she passed away in 2011. On Jan. 1, 2015, Lauder married Judy Glickman Lauder, a philanthropist and internationally recognized photographer. Lauder was born in 1933 in New York City. He was a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and the Officer Candidate School of the United States Navy. Lauder studied at Columbia University's graduate school of business. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and as a Navy reservist, for which the U.S. Navy Supply Corps Foundation later recognized him with its Distinguished Alumni Award. In addition to his wife and son William, Lauder is survived by his other son Gary M. Lauder and wife, Laura Lauder; five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, many stepchildren and step grandchildren, as well as his brother, Ronald S. Lauder, and wife, Jo Carole Lauder, and their daughters, Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder.
