TIDMIIN Inion Oy 05 March 2009 ? Inion Oy ("Inion or the "Company") Inion strengthens US product portfolio in spine and specialty orthopaedics New biodegradable bone graft substitutes receive 510(k) marketing clearance Tampere, Finland and Guildford, UK. 5 March 2009, Inion (LSE: IIN.L), a company focused on the development and commercialisation of novel biodegradable medical implants, has received 510(k) regulatory clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new Inion BioRestore(TM) Sahara bone filling implants for use in spinal and orthopaedic surgical procedures. Inion BioRestore(TM) Sahara is a synthetic bioactive and biodegradable bone grafting substitute that can be cut or shaped precisely to fit and fill voids in bone that may result from surgery or from traumatic injury. It is made from bioactive glass fibres and provides a highly porous scaffold onto which the patient's new bone will grow, while gradually degrading to allow new bone to fill the void, allowing complete repair of the defect. Inion BioRestore(TM) Sahara can be used alone or in conjunction with Inion's other biodegradable implants across a range of indications. Inion BioRestore(TM) initially received both 510(k) clearance in the USA and CE Mark in Europe in October 2007. The new Inion BioRestore(TM) Sahara products now offer surgeons greater flexibility and precision for filling voids where better contact to the bone is required, as its wider porosity range allows the implant to better retain its three-dimensional space-filling structure during shaping and/or demanding implantation. Inion BioRestore(TM) has demonstrated in preclinical studies that it has bioactive properties that stimulate and accelerate new bone formation. It is designed to replace current bone grafting techniques in certain surgical procedures, where it also offers other important advantages, primarily in that its synthetic origin, excludes risks of disease transmission and overcomes the limitations in quantity and quality of available bone graft. Chris Lee, Inion's CEO, said: "We are pleased to receive this clearance for our latest biomaterial as it complements and reinforces our focused product offering in the orthopaedic trauma and spine areas in the US." According to Millennium Research Group and Knowledge Enterprises, the US market for bone graft substitutes is estimated at $1.5 billion between 2007 and 2011. The market for synthetic bone graft substitutes is approximately $158 million and is growing at a compound annual rate of 10%. Bone graft substitutes are used in the following application areas: spine (approximately 63% of market value), orthopaedic trauma (17%), dental (17%), reconstructive surgery (i.e. hips, knees, 2%), cranio-maxillofacial (CMF, 1%) (NB: numbers do not add to 100% due to rounding). The market outside the US is estimated to be worth 36% of the US market. - Ends - For further information, please contact: +-----------+----------+ | Inion | Tel: +44 | | Oy | (0)1483 | | Chris | 685390 | | Lee, | | | Chief | | | Executive | | | Officer | | | Julien | | | Cotta, | | | Chief | | | Financial | | | Officer | | | | | +-----------+----------+ | Citigate | Tel: +44 | | Dewe | (0)207 | | Rogerson | 638 9571 | | Mark | | | Swallow | | | / David | | | Dible / | | | Helena | | | Galilee | | +-----------+----------+ About Inion (www.inion.com) Inion Oy is a medical devices company focused on the development and successful commercialisation of innovative and unique biodegradable and bioactive surgical implants in selected high value orthopaedic market segments.
