ReGen Biologics Participates in 2007 AANA Annual Meeting

FRANKLIN LAKES, NJ -- April 26, 2007 -- ReGen Biologics, Inc. (OTC:RGBI) will exhibit the company’s products at the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) meeting, being held this week in San Francisco.

Additionally, data from its CMI™ product clinical trial will be highlighted in two podium presentations and two “e-posters” as part of the scientific program offered to attending surgeons.

The first presentation focuses on the correlation between tissue loss and clinical symptoms, function and activity levels following meniscectomy.  The second underscores the decreased rate of re-operations for chronic patients receiving a collagen meniscus implant.  Both presentations are scheduled for this afternoon.

The e-posters are available for review throughout the meeting.  One features the latest suture techniques being used for fixation of the collagen meniscus implant and the other documents new tissue growth and increased activity level in patients two years following a collagen meniscus implant procedure.

“The AANA meeting provides an excellent forum for ReGen management and clinical collaborators to meet and discuss our latest clinical data,” said Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ReGen Biologics.

Copies of presentation and poster abstracts will be available on the ReGen corporate website following the completion of the AANA annual meeting at www.regenbio.com.

The stated goal of the AANA is to promote, encourage, support and foster through continuing medical education functions, the development and dissemination of knowledge in the discipline of arthroscopic surgery.  For more information on the annual meeting, or scheduled presentations visit www.aana.org.
