Business Summary

We are a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair.  We provide products and education to improve surgical treatment algorithms for peripheral nerve injuries. Our portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes (i) Avance® Nerve Graft, an off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, (ii) AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and (iii) AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.  Along with these core surgical products, we also offer the AxoTouchTM Two-Point Discriminator and AcroVal™ Neurosensory and Motor Testing System.  These evaluation and measurement tools assist healthcare professionals in detecting changes in sensation, assessing return of sensory, grip and pinch function, evaluating effective treatment interventions, and providing feedback to patients.

Avance® Nerve Graft is processed in the United States by AxoGen.  AxoGuard® Nerve Connector and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector are manufactured in the United States by Cook Biotech Incorporated and are distributed worldwide exclusively by AxoGen.  The AcroVal™ Neurosensory and Motor Testing System and AxoTouch™ Two Point Discriminator are contract manufactured by Viron Technologies, LLC. (formerly Cybernetics Research Laboratories) (“Viron”), Tucson, Arizona.   Viron supplies the AcroVal™ and AxoTouch™ unpackaged and they are packaged at AxoGen’s distribution facility in Burleson, Texas.  AxoGen maintains its corporate offices in Alachua, Florida and is the parent company of its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AC.
