Platts & Nisbett sign exclusive deal with Azellon

Azellon LogoPlatts & Nisbett has been chosen by Azellon to exclusively manufacture a new Cell Bandage Introducer to be used in their pioneering meniscal repair technology. This procedure aims to save thousands of patients from the type of knee surgery that currently leads to premature osteoarthritis.
Azellon’s meniscal repair technology combines a patient’s own bone marrow stem cells with a special membrane that helps to deliver the cells into the injured site, and cannot be rejected by the immune system.

The first prototype instrument has been approved by Prof Ashley Blom and Prof Anthony Hollander, who are hoping to be able to commence clinical trials later in the year.

Platts & Nisbett look forward to working with Azellon, and wish them every success for the future.
