Business Summary

The Company is a regenerative medicine company dedicated to advancing the science and commercialization of peripheral nerve repair solutions. Peripheral nerves provide the pathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body and their damage can result in the loss of function and feeling. In order to improve surgical reconstruction and regeneration of peripheral nerves, the Company has developed and licensed patented and patent-pending technologies which are used in its portfolio of products. AxoGen’s products offer a full suite of surgical nerve reconstruction solutions including Avance ® Nerve Graft, which the Company believes is the only commercially available processed nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves, AxoGuard ® Nerve Connector, a coaptation aid allowing for close approximation of severed nerves, and AxoGuard ® Nerve Protector, a bioscaffold used to reinforce a coaptation site, wrap a partially severed nerve or isolate and protect nerve tissue.
