Kensey Nash (KNSY) Receives FDA Clearance for its First Extracellular Matrix Product, Medeor

November 11, 2009 12:16 PM EST

Kensey Nash Corporation (Nasdaq: KNSY) announced that it has received 510(k) clearance for its first extracellular matrix (ECM) product, Medeor(TM) Matrix, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The clearance allows for the use of Medeor Matrix in general surgery for the reinforcement and repair of soft tissue, including hernia repair and plastic and reconstructive surgical applications.

Medeor Matrix is a porcine-based dermal extracellular matrix designed to act as a biologic scaffold to stimulate the deposition of organized tissues specific to an injured site. These ECM products facilitate rapid revascularization and are therefore quickly repopulated with cells from the host tissue and ultimately converted into functional living tissue. Medeor Matrix is manufactured using Kensey Nash's proprietary Optrix(TM) process, which gently disinfects tissues, inactivates viruses and removes cells while preserving extracellular matrix components.
