Glenn Sblendorio, President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “In the second quarter we showed steady financial performance, made strides with our regulatory review projects, and are beginning to generate important new data with our R&D investments. With the completion of the acquisition of Tenaxis Medical in May, we have expanded our Surgery & Perioperative Care portfolio and can now address the full spectrum of hemostasis from tissue bleeding to vascular bleeding.”

“The second half of 2014 and 2015 promise to be exciting periods for our firm – we anticipate strong news flow led by a series of potential product approvals and launch activities,” said Clive Meanwell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
