Axogen to Participate at AAHS ASPN ASRM 2022 Annual Meetings
04 January 2022 - 11:00PM
Axogen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN), a global leader in developing and
marketing innovative surgical solutions for damage or transection
to peripheral nerves, today announced its participation at the
combined 2022 meetings of the
American Association for Hand
Surgery (AAHS), American Society for Peripheral Nerve
(ASPN), and the
American Society for
Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM). The meetings will be
held January 11-18, 2022 in Carlsbad, CA.
Axogen will host an educational symposium on Thursday, January
13th at 1:00 p.m. featuring modern approaches to nerve repair and
reconstruction. Data in Decision Making: The sensible, modern
approach to nerve repair includes a panel of expert peripheral
nerve surgeons who will review how they achieve meaningful outcomes
by following an evidence-based and clinically-validated nerve
repair algorithm. The panelists will use clinical cases and the
most recent data to support why this algorithm remains a dependable
approach to peripheral nerve management in their practice.
“Surgeon interest in peripheral nerve repair is evident in the
number of nerve presentations highlighting Axogen technologies
across all meeting agendas,” said Karen Zaderej, chairman, CEO, and
president. “We look forward to meeting with attendees in person and
discussing how we can work together to bring our innovative
evidence-based peripheral nerve repair solutions to more patients
who will benefit from them.”
Presentations featuring Axogen technologies include:
- “Histological Comparison of the
Fascicular Area of Cabled Sural Nerve Autograft and Processed Nerve
Allograft” selected for presentation at the AAHS/ASPN/ASRM
Outstanding Paper Session on Saturday January 15.
- “Neurotization Techniques and Outcomes
in Innervated Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Pooled
Analysis” at the AAHS/ASPN/ASRM Outstanding Paper Session on
Saturday January 15.
- “Evaluation of Axonal and Myelin
Debris Phagocytosis in the Distal Injured Nerve Stumps Surrounded
by Small Intestinal Submucosa or Cross-Linked Collagen” on Friday
January 14.
- “Neurotized DIEP Flaps: A Timeline for
Sensory Recovery” on Sunday, January 16.
Building on the success of ASRM’s Sewing with the Masters
program, ASPN has announced their Sewing Nerve with the Masters
program. The program allows young surgeons an opportunity to hone
their microsurgical nerve repair technique in a one-on-one session
with an expert. These 15 minute sessions previously focused on
vessel repair and have been expanded to now feature nerve repair
skills. Axogen is happy to provide in-kind donations, such as the
Avance® nerve graft, as well as nerve experts to assist with
hands-on support during all sessions. In addition, Axogen will also
sponsor the ASRM Women in Microsurgery dinner and staff an
interactive booth throughout the meetings.

About ASPN The American Society for Peripheral
Nerve was established to stimulate and encourage study and research
in the field of neural regeneration, to provide a forum for the
presentation of the latest research and relevant clinical
information and to serve as a unifying authority on all areas of
neural regeneration and restorative neuroscience. For more
information, please visit: www.peripheralnerve.org.
About ASRM The American Society for
Reconstructive Microsurgery was established to promote, encourage,
foster, and advance the art and science of microsurgery and complex
reconstruction and to establish a forum for teaching, research and
free discussion of reconstructive microsurgical methods and
principles. For more information, please visit:

About AxogenAxogen (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
helping to restore peripheral nerve function and quality of life to
patients with physical damage or transection to peripheral nerves
by providing innovative, clinically proven, and economically
effective repair solutions for surgeons and health care providers.
Peripheral nerves provide the pathways for both motor and sensory
signals throughout the body. Every day, people suffer traumatic
injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact the function of
their peripheral nerves. Physical damage to a peripheral
nerve, or the inability to properly reconnect peripheral nerves,
can result in the loss of muscle or organ function, the loss of
sensory feeling, or the initiation of pain.
Axogen's platform for peripheral nerve repair features a
comprehensive portfolio of products, including Avance® Nerve Graft,
a biologically active off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft
for bridging severed peripheral 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 peripheral nerves; Axoguard Nerve
Protector®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and
protect damaged peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve
reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments; and
Axoguard Nerve Cap®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to
protect a peripheral nerve end and separate the nerve from the
surrounding environment to reduce the development of symptomatic or
painful neuroma. The Axogen portfolio of products is available in
the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and
several other European and international countries.
