Organization and Business | 2.Organization and Business 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 Avance® Nerve Graft, an off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and 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 AxoTouch TM Two-Point Discriminator and expect to launch in March of 2016 the 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. The introduction of our evaluation and measurement products further reflects our commitment to bring best practices to the treatment of peripheral nerve conditions.
