Extremity Innovations, Inc. Receives CE Mark for InnoPad™

Extremity Innovations, Inc. has been awarded a CE mark for its InnoPad™ fat pad augmentation device. This designation permits the marketing of InnoPad™ in the countries of the European Union and those that recognize the CE Mark.

Bartlett, TN, November 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- InnoPad™ is an injectable implant that is indicated for augmentation of the subdermal fat pad tissue of the plantar surface (bottom) of the foot. Every year, deterioration of the fat pad contributes to the onset of foot ulcers in approximately 20 million diabetic patients worldwide, and serious infections of those ulcers lead to approximately one million lower leg amputations. Foot ulcers and their resulting complications are one of the most significant health issues facing the diabetic community today. InnoPad™ brings to market the work of the late Sol W. Balkin, DPM, who dedicated more than forty years of his career to providing this innovative solution to patients showing signs of fat pad deterioration.

InnoPad™ is Extremity Innovations’ first product to gain regulatory clearances and will help establish the two-year-old company as a leader in providing simple, safe, innovative and economical solutions to the soft tissue field. InnoPad™ is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration for commercial distribution in the United States.
