WESTPORT, Conn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Advanced BioHealing, Inc. (ABH), a leader in commercializing the promise of regenerative medicine, announced that Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer Charles E. Hart, Ph.D. will present at the Canaccord Adams Musculoskeletal Conference. The conference will be held March 9, 2010, at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, LA.

Dr. Hart's presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9, 2010, at 11:00 a.m. He will provide an overview of the Company including its product pipeline led by Dermagraft, ABH's bio-engineered skin substitute that repairs tissue damaged by disease and supports the body's natural healing process. Dermagraft is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and is the focus of an ongoing pivotal trial in subjects with venous leg ulcers. The Company has also initiated plans to extend the use of Dermagraft into orthopedic soft tissue indications.

"We are pleased to have been invited to present at this year's Canaccord Adams Musculoskeletal Conference," said Dr. Hart. "The demonstrated effectiveness of Dermagraft in the treatment of DFUs suggests that this product should have clinical utility in the treatment of a variety of orthopedic indications related to soft tissue repair, such as rotator cuff tears. Exploring these possibilities is at the core of our efforts to expand the use of Dermagraft into new therapeutic areas."
