2. Organization and Business

Business Summary

The Company is a leading 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 muscle function and/or feeling. In order to improve the options available for the surgical repair and regeneration of peripheral nerves, the Company has developed and licensed, patented and patent pending technologies. The Company’s innovative approach to regenerative medicine has resulted in first-in-class products that the Company believes will define their product categories. AxoGen’s products offer a full suite of surgical nerve repair solutions including Avance^® Nerve Graft, the only off-the-shelf commercially available processed nerve allograft, human nerve tissue obtained from a donor, for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities of an autograft second surgical site, such as loss of feeling where the nerve was removed and potential pain at the donor site. The Company’s AxoGuard^® line of products are derived from pig tissue and are natural scaffolds of the body called ExtraCellular Matrix, or ECM. AxoGuard^® Nerve Connector is used to facilitate the tensionless repair of severed nerves, and AxoGuard^® Nerve Protector is used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.
