About Axogen
Axogen (AXGN) is the leading company focused specifically on the science, development and commercialization of technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair. Axogen employees are passionate about restoring the function and quality of life of patients with physical damage or peripheral nerve transections by providing innovative, clinically proven and economically effective repair solutions for surgeons and healthcare providers. Peripheral nerves provide pathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body. Every day, people suffer traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that affect the function of their peripheral nerves. Physical damage to a peripheral nerve or the inability to reconnect peripheral nerves properly can result in loss of muscle or organ function, loss of sensory sensation, or induction of pain.
The Axogen platform for peripheral nerve repair includes a comprehensive product portfolio, including Avance® Nerve Graft, a biologically active, commercially available, processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed peripheral nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site; Axoguard nerve connector®a submucosal porcine extracellular matrix (ECM) adaptation aid for the tension-free repair of severed peripheral nerves; Axoguard nerve protection®, a porcine submucosal ECM device used to envelop and protect damaged peripheral nerves and enhance nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments; and Axoguard nerve cap®, a porcine submucosal ECM product used to protect a peripheral nerve ending and isolate the nerve from the environment to reduce the development of a symptomatic or painful neuroma. Axogen’s product portfolio is available in the US, Canada, Germany, UK, Spain, South Korea and several other countries.
