Surgical Energetics Moves Headquarters to Covington, KY

bioLOGIC Corp, a Covington, KY based life science accelerator, announced today that Surgical Energetics LLC (SE) has moved its headquarters to the bioLOGIC facility in Covington, KY.

Founded in 1998 by the late Dr. David Melvin, previously known for performing the region's first heart transplants, SE has developed technology for the coupling of tissues never before reliably closable. This new coupling technology utilizes force-transfer surface dynamics to join living tissue to either a prosthetic device or other living tissue. SE's first product, FiberSecure, has been shown pre-clinically to connect tissue more strongly than existing sutures or staples, and holds durably where they cannot. The Company is pursuing FDA compliance through 510K process during Q4 2011, which will result in a commercially marketed product.

bioLOGIC and SE have been in close collaboration since early 2007. 

"We are extremely pleased that Surgical Energetics has now chosen to move its operations to bioLOGIC," stated Dr. Charlie LeCroix, COO and partner at bioLOGIC. "The addition of SE and their patented wound closing technology to the current life science companies already located at bioLOGIC continues to expand the emerging life science corridor in Northern Kentucky."

"Moving our headquarters to bioLOGIC in Northern Kentucky provides our company access to additional programs and support that will accelerate our path towards the 510K filing with the FDA," Dr. Natalia Juncosa-Melvin, Scientific Director at SE, commented.
