PROBLEM: Ligament Injury & Tear Tissue Annual injuries (US) Wrist/Hand ligament 200,000 Rotator Cuff Tendon 400,000 ACL 550,000 THUMB UCL (ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT) Source: U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Equity Research, Orthopedic Overview, 1999
Problems with Current Implants • Autografts ( $300M ACL market) • Donor site morbidity • Additional incision • Risk of complications • Allografts & Xenografts ( $200M ACL market) • Variable quality • Inconsistent availability • Risk of infection • Slow to heal • High cost
Proprietary Low-cost Mfg Process Fibrils Ligament Nano-structure Reconstitution Bio-equivalent Scaffold Native Scaffold Medical Grade Collagen
Patented Deposition Machine SCAFFOLD FILM (12” X 12” max) CE FIBER ~ equal material strength UCL ACL • Existing machine: • originally designed for optical manufacturing • can easily produce all UCL’s for US market
Proof of Concept • Ligament-like high mechanical strength • Cell Guidance: Migration & Proliferation • Small Animal Study • Platelet Rich Plasma Controlled Delivery • Stem Cell Seeded Scaffolds
Key Bridge Component Collagen Fiber • Bridge Parameters: • Diameter & length woven as req’d • “J” elasticity similar to ACL • Advantages: • Ligament-like strength on day one • Consistent quality • Accelerated growth and repair • Patient Platelet / Stem Cell Seeding
Mesenchymal Stem Cells CELL GUIDED SCAFFOLDS
Competitive Profile Allograft Market: RTI, Arthrex, Lifenet, Allosource
Market • Ligament Procedures/yr US • Hand / Wrist = 70k • Ankle (sprain) = 350k • Hand / Wrist Reimbursement • $1k avg / device • $70M market Market Penetration Goals Yr 1 – 1% Yr 2 – 3% Yr 3 – 10%
$385K has bought Coated glass Free-standing • Prototype Production: • Collagen coated slides & Petri Dishes • Free-standing collagen film • Advanced Cell Culture Results • Collaboration Agreements • UCSF (3 Labs), Stanford • Navy (CRADA) • Strong Initial Team & Advisors • Blocking IP
