ChitogenX partners with Polytechnique Montréal on federal grant for ORTHO-R regenerative treatment

ChitogenX Inc. is a Canada-based emerging orthopedic and sports medicine biologics company. The Company is engaged in the development of therapeutic soft tissue repair technologies to improve the success rate of orthopedic and sports medicine surgeries. The Company’s proprietary biopolymer has been specifically designed to increase the healing rates of occupational and sports related injuries to tendons, ligaments, meniscus and cartilage. The biopolymer, autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combination implant, can be directly placed into the site of injuries by surgeons during routine operative procedures without significantly extending the duration of surgeries and without further interventions. The Company assess its potential for therapeutic uses outside of the soft tissue repair market. The Company, through Ecole Polytechnique and two industrial partners, delineates the PRP components, the distinct impact of each component and their collective action towards tissue repair.
