Celebrating 20 years at axogen


celebrating 20 years at axogen
This year, Axogen celebrates its 20th anniversary of revolutionizing the science of nerve repair and helping to improve quality of life and restore feeling and functionality to patients with damaged peripheral nerves.

Every day, people suffer traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact the function of their peripheral nerves. Axogen’s comprehensive portfolio of products continues to help patients regain the ability to kiss, smile, hug, walk, eat, touch, run, feel—some of the many things healthy peripheral nerves allow us to do.

We are celebrating our role as the leading company specifically dedicated to improving quality of life for patients suffering from peripheral nerve injuries and our 20 years of unwavering focus on the science, development, and commercialization of technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair.
