CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NVIV), a developer of groundbreaking technologies for the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCI), today announced that CEO Frank Reynolds is scheduled to appear on WAWS-TV (FOX)/WTEV-TV (CBS) in Jacksonville, Florida on Monday June 25, 2012 at 7:45 am EDT. He is also scheduled to appear on KNSD-TV (NBC) in San Diego, California on Tuesday June 26, 2012 at 12:00pm PDT.
InVivo Therapeutics has pioneered a new treatment using a biocompatible polymer-based scaffold to provide structural support to a damaged spinal cord. The device spares spinal cord tissue from scarring while improving functional recovery after a traumatic SCI. In addition to the scaffold and its application for acute and chronic SCI, Reynolds will discuss new hydrogel technologies under development by InVivo.
“Our technology is a true platform that can be leveraged to create many neurotrauma products. InVivo is developing technologies to treat both acute and chronic injuries, as well as therapies for other nervous system conditions such as pain due to nerve compression and other peripheral nerve injuries. We’re currently under review at FDA for our first SCI treatment, and we look forward to receiving approval to begin those human studies in 2012,” said Reynolds.
