The ISAKOS congress in Florence, Italy provides the setting for
several exciting events sponsored by the European subsidiary of ReGen
Biologics (OTC: RGBI). ISAKOS is the International Society of
Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine.
During the meeting, ReGen will exhibit its flagship product, the
CMI(TM) meniscus implant, which is CE marked and cleared for sale in
Europe for both medial and lateral use. The lateral CMI has been the
subject of a post-marketing study in Europe since receiving the CE
mark in 2006 and will now be available for general sale.
ReGen is sponsoring a luncheon symposium as part of the ISAKOS
scientific program. Three topics will be discussed at this symposium.
Dr. Kenneth DeHaven of Rochester, New York will present the results of
the CMI U.S. multicenter clinical trial. Dr. Dirk Holsten of Koblenz,
Germany will review the lateral CMI surgical technique. And Dr. M.
Marcacci and Dr. S. Zaffagnini of Bologna, Italy will discuss the
preliminary clinical trial results of the lateral CMI.
"We are pleased to support the efforts of ISAKOS in presenting new
and important information, and also to offer surgeons a proven
treatment for lateral meniscus defects," said Marcel Kyburz, General
Manager of ReGen Biologics AG. "We look forward to expanding our
association with leading arthroscopic surgeons globally as we continue
to develop state of the art products."
The ISAKOS Congress provides an international forum for the
exchange of scientific information and networking with leaders in
orthopedics and sports medicine from around the world. ISAKOS is the
Society of the future providing high quality educational programs for
its members and the orthopaedic and sports medicine global community.
