ReGen Biologics Receives NSE Letter from FDA, Proceeding with Next Steps to Gain U.S. Market Clearance



    ReGen Biologics, Inc. (OTC: RGBI) announced today that the company
    is in receipt of a not substantially equivalent (NSE) letter from the
    U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the 510(k)
    submission for its Collagen Scaffold device.

    The FDA indicated the device is not substantially equivalent to
    existing Class II devices already in receipt of FDA clearance. ReGen
    filed the 510(k) submission in late 2006 based on guidance received
    from FDA following the Company's appeal of an original NSE decision
    based on the Company's initial 510(k) submission in December 2005.

    "Obviously we are disappointed with this latest decision regarding
    our 510(k) submission. We believe we have provided the FDA with
    adequate information to support clearance of the 510(k), and that the
    FDA has failed to adequately consider the appropriate regulatory and
    scientific issues required of this review," stated Gerald E. Bisbee,
    Jr., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ReGen Biologics.
    "The Company is pursuing the next steps in appealing the NSE decision
    through FDA administrative channels. We believe that a fair appeal
    process involving sports medicine experts from outside the FDA will
    result in the submission being cleared," Dr. Bisbee stated.

    "The United States represents a key marketplace, and we believe
    this product will fill a large and important need among surgeons and
    patients. We will continue to pursue FDA marketing clearance via the
    options available to us. The Company has adequate cash to support
    operations through the anticipated appeal process, however we will
    continue to evaluate all levels of spending throughout the
    organization to help ensure our ability to complete the task at hand.
    While the FDA NSE decision necessitates a longer timeframe, we are
    committed to doing everything within our power to obtain U.S.
    clearance," Dr. Bisbee continued.

    "We will continue our marketing and training programs in Europe
    through our Swiss subsidiary, ReGen AG, and ReGen AG will continue to
    direct world-wide market adoption," concluded Dr. Bisbee.

    Additional information regarding the status of FDA clearance
    efforts and other business updates will be provided as information
    becomes available.
