“Reaching this milestone while we are experiencing a continuous flow of successful patient outcomes is of great importance to us. Our customers are constantly talking to us about the challenge in treating the middle-aged patients who suffer from early cartilage and bone lesions in the knee joint. It is our vision to help these patients to return to a normal lifestyle, and we are very determined on delivering on this vision” says Pål Ryfors, CEO Episurf Medical.
