The Company&#8217;s Cellspan\u2122 technology combines a proprietary, biocompatible scaffold with a patient&#8217;s own cells to create an esophageal implant that could potentially be used to treat pediatric esophageal atresia and other conditions that affect the esophagus. The Company&#8217;s esophageal implant leverages the body&#8217;s inherent capacity to heal itself as it is a &#8220;living tube&#8221; that facilitates regeneration of esophageal tissue and triggers a positive host response resulting in a tissue-engineered neo-conduit that restores continuity of the esophagus. These implants have the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life for children and adults.
