AxoGen’s Avance



Navy Corpsman Joins 29 Organ and Tissue Transplant Recipients as Float Riders to Demonstrate Appreciation of Life-Saving Donor Gifts


Alachua, FL (PRWEB) December 30, 2013

AxoGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development and commercialization of products and technologies for peripheral nerve reconstruction and regeneration, today announced that Navy Corpsman Edward Bonfiglio, a patient who received limb sparing surgery utilizing AxoGen’s Avance® Nerve Graft, will ride in the 2014 Rose Parade aboard the 11th annual Donate Life’s “Light Up the World” float in Pasadena, Calif. on New Year’s Day.

Mr. Bonfiglio joins 29 riders on the float, all of who whom are tissue, organ, or cornea transplant recipients. Each rider was selected by an organization for their courage, service and advocacy regarding life-saving transplants they received from generous donors. In July, Mr. Bonfiglio was selected by the American Association of Tissue Bank (AATB) to represent tissue recipients on the Donate Life float.

Tissue donation was essential in helping Mr. Bonfiglio recover from an injury sustained during military assignment in Afghanistan. During a routine foot patrol, Mr. Bonfiglio’s unit was ambushed and he was shot in his left leg. Due to injury to his sciatic nerve, he lost all function and feeling below his knee. Upon Bonfiglio’s return to the U.S., surgeons at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C. presented him with surgical repair options that included amputation of his left leg or, as he and his family elected, repair of the severed peripheral nerve with Avance® Nerve Graft, a processed nerve allograft, with the goal of allowing him to keep his own leg and restore function. Lt. Commander Patrick Basile, Director of Microsurgery at Walter Reed, performed the surgery that saved Bonfiglio’s leg. Today, using his own leg, Bonfiglio can walk and jog, and is currently training for the Paralympics at Penn State University.

Jill Schiaparelli, Senior Vice President of Marketing at AxoGen, remarked, “The thirty riders selected for Donate Life’s ‘Light Up the World’ float are an inspiration to us all with their individual stories of gratitude for renewed life. AxoGen is honored to have offered a nerve repair solution that helped save Edward’s leg and we are proud that the American Association of Tissue Banks selected Edward for this year’s float. His story is one of great courage and immense accomplishment and is a shining example of successful nerve repair with our processed nerve allograft.”

Since 2005, the AATB has sponsored the Donate Life Rose Parade Float. The theme of the 2014 Donate Life Float, “Light Up the World,” supports the organization’s mission of saving and enhancing lives through the gift of organ and tissue donation.

About the Donate Life Float

The 2014 Donate Life float is built by Phoenix Decorating Company and is coordinated by Los Angeles-based OneLegacy, the world’s largest organ, eye and tissue recovery organization. Each year, the Donate Life float campaign is supported by more than 140 official sponsors from coast to coast, including organ, eye and tissue recovery organizations, tissue processors, hospitals, transplant centers, state donor registries, funeral homes, donor family foundations and affiliated organizations. Joining OneLegacy as top-level benefactors are American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB), Dignity Memorial® network, Donate Life America, Donate Life Run/Walk Committee, Josiah’s House, The Order of St. Lazarus, SightLife and TBI/Tissue Banks International.

The Donate Life Rose Parade Float’s family of sponsors urges viewers to help make dreams come true for more than one million people in need of life-saving and healing organ, tissue and cornea transplants. Join America’s 113 million registered donors so that everyone whose life and livelihood depends on a transplant can have one.

Hemorroids Are Painful, But These Tips Aren’t

Being more hygienic in the bathroom can help you diminish the chances of external hemorrhoid development. Use soft toilet paper that does not leave lint behind, and use a moist towelette to clean yourself after each bowel movement. An excellent tip for hemorrhoids is ensuring you receive daily fiber somehow. A lack of fiber, especially from fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, can contribute to hard, hemorrhoid-causing stools, plus nutritional deficiencies. It may be wise to consider taking fiber supplements, such as linseed or psyllium husks. If your hemorrhoids are not too large or painful, try to gently push the hemorrhoid back inside your body.

Last Features – Important Things To Keep In Mind About Home Security

A sliding glass door often presents a big challenge to home security. It's easy to break into a sliding glass door by just lifting it up and shaking it. If you lack a connected security system for such doors, cut a piece of pipe to stick in the door's channel. This will make the door a lot harder to force open. If you want to make your house even more secure, a cheap way to do that is to buy outside lights with motion detectors. These lights provide extra light for your home and are very cost efficient. If the lights are positioned correctly on your home, then it makes it much less likely for a burglar to enter.If your garage is attached to your house, make it secure.

Instead, opt for a fat-free sugary snack to quickly get your blood glucose back up to normal levels. Don't use urine tests as your primary measure of how your blood sugar is doing. You should also make sure you know what the normal range is at various times during the day. Use a home glucose meter to measure the exact amount of sugar in your blood instead.
