Elutia Inc (NASDAQ: ELUT) shares bolstered a whopping 33% today as the company recently shared that they’ve secured about $10.5 million in funding through a private investment round. If all the warrants are cashed in as part of this funding, the total could go up to $26.2 million.

Latest Changes:
Just last week, Aziyo Biologics changed its name to Elutia Inc. Following this change, Elutia made an announcement about selling its Orthobiologics business unit to Berkeley Biologics, a subsidiary of GNI Group Ltd. This move is set to bring in a substantial amount of cash, totalling up to $35 million for Elutia. This sum includes a notable upfront payment of $15 million, plus additional potential earnings of up to $20 million over five years. The deal is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2023.
This sale is a big step for Elutia, especially in the realm of drug-eluting biomatrix technology (DEB). Elutia is actively seeking approval from the FDA for their main product, CanGaroo RM. This product utilizes innovative biomatrix technology with antibiotics rifampin and minocycline (RM), providing long-term protection for cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators. This tackles a huge market estimated to be worth around 600 million. Elutia is aiming to introduce CanGaroo RM to the market in the first half of 2024.

Standard Of Care:
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) stands as the exclusive provider of the antibiotic envelope within the current market. This envelope is crafted using synthetic mesh infused with antibiotics. Back in 2014, Medtronic acquired this technology, making a strategic investment of up to $200 million. Primarily intended for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) revision procedures, this product boasts estimated annual sales in the range of $250 to $300 million.
However, despite its market presence and revenue generation, the Medtronic antibiotic envelope has notable limitations. While it effectively combats infections, its synthetic composition renders it less effective in supporting wound healing. Moreover, it poses challenges in accommodating larger devices like Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillators (SCID).
Drug-eluting biomatrix (DEB):
Drug-eluting biomatrix (DEB) involves a specialized approach to drug delivery using a biomatrix as a carrier or platform. In simple terms, it’s a technique where a biomaterial matrix, often a biocompatible polymer or similar substance, is used to release drugs in a controlled and targeted manner.
The biomatrix acts as a support structure that can hold and gradually release drugs or therapeutic agents at a specific site in the body, typically over an extended period. This is particularly useful in medical applications where a localized and sustained delivery of medication is necessary.
For instance, in the context of Elutia’s CanGaroo RM, a biomatrix incorporating antibiotics rifampin and minocycline is used to provide prolonged protection for cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators. The biomatrix slowly releases these antibiotics at the surgical site, preventing infections and promoting healing.
DEB technology is gaining traction because it enhances treatment efficiency by ensuring the drug is delivered directly to the target area, minimizing side effects, and optimizing therapeutic outcomes. It’s a promising approach in the field of medical advancements, especially in areas like cardiology, oncology, and orthopedics.
Post-mastectomy Breast Reconstruction:
On top of this, the company also has plans to develop an RM version of its SimpliDerm biomatrix tailored for breast reconstruction procedures. The rate of infections after this surgery is quite high, more than 10%, highlighting a big medical need in a market valued at over $500 million. Elutia is stepping up to address this issue by developing SimpliDerm® RM, which incorporates their unique DEB technology. The funds raised through the private investment round (PIPE) and the sale of the Orthobiologics business unit will not only boost Elutia’s efforts in advancing their drug-eluting biomatrix products for the cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator market, but also for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
What’s next:
As mentioned earlier, their biomatrix platform serves two major markets. CanGaroo RM, their upcoming product, is slated for a 1H of 2024 market release and is poised to be a pioneer in a $600 million market. Furthermore, their SimpliDerm RM product utilizes the same proprietary antibiotic-eluting technology found in CanGaroo RM, which serves a 1.6B market according to their presentation deck. They aim to secure an IDE by Q4 2024, and upon achieving these milestones, they plan to venture into neurostimulator markets, particularly in pain management, to further drive their growth.

For those stuck of scientific validity of what you read. It is daunting at times to make a decision whether to by or not. Myself, I learned the science, to help me in making the correct decision. I recommend making time in our schedules to financially benefit you in the long run, with a deep peace of mind knowing the results and the superiority of a product will catch up to the narrative. Just like in the discovery that the current x-19 vaccines’ effect only lasted 6 months, not 8 months and this 2 month gap actually corresponds to the number of vaccinated people becoming I’ll again. I myself was wondering if the vaccine could be causing the mutated Delta strain within the vaccinated people, as opposed to the unvaccinated becoming infected. Now with the knowledge and scientific proof from being able to MEASURE the amount of antibodies inside us, and comparing it against the data of vaccinated people at varying times from the date of their vaccination on a monthly basis, a biological truth was discovered that invalidated a previously know fact which has led to an increase in DELTA infections, straining hospital and medical resources. This discovery is not momentary, but will remain a FACT OF NATURE, perpetually, allowing mankind to get a grip on deadly viruses around the world.. thanks for reading this far. . It will improve your life in more ways than one. Hosea 4:6 !

The Covid shots will turn us into Gods enemies like unto those that hate Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.! Is the
Very first lesson we need to learn as custodians of the vessels of God.

Let people get the vaccine if they want it but don’t force it on anyone. Same with masks if you want to wear one go ahead but respect those that don’t want to wear one. Live and let live, if you don’t want to be around ppl not wearing masks avoid sporting events and keep your distance when you see someone not wearing one. But don’t force anyone to wear a mask and there is little evidence that masks stop the spread of covid among children anyway. Anything that fauci says is highly suspect and probably false.
