June 9, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Go to http://www.financialwire.net/?s=ftrdnwswnd for all of today’s featured news.) — MiMedx Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MDXG) said that it has received notification by the FDA that the company's proprietary device, HydroFix Vaso Shield, has received 510(k) clearance for additional thicknesses and sizes. In April 2009, the FDA cleared HydroFix Vaso Shield for use as a cover for vessels following anterior vertebral surgeries. The Vaso Shield is a permanent and transparent hydrogel product. During an anterior spinal implant procedure, the physician places the Vaso Shield between the spinal implant site and the vessels and then sutures it to the perivertebral, non-vascular soft tissue to secure the implant.

The device is designed to protect the vessels in subsequent anterior revision surgeries.

Georgia-based MiMedx Group is an integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of patent protected biomaterial-based products. The company is emerging from a development-focused start-up into a fully integrated operating company.
