"I am pleased to be participating in, and contributing to this registry. We have shown that CERAMENT™|G is a safe and effective addition to the management of many complex indications, including chronic osteomyelitis, and look forward to generating further data to confirm this."
"We are excited about the diverse set of procedures and compelling data being generated in our CERAMENT™ registry," said Richard Davies, CEO of BONESUPPORT™. "This registry both ensures vigilance in the post-marketing surveillance for our products, and allows the data generated from these complex procedures to be collected and stored in a central location.
