Kelyniam Global Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance to Market Cranial Implants

NEW BRITAIN, CT--(Marketwire - 04/20/11) - Kelyniam Global, Inc. (Pinksheets:KLYG - News), an emerging medical device manufacturer, today announced that it has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin marketing its Patient Specific Custom Cranial Implants.

The Kelyniam Custom Skull Implants (CSI) are designed and manufactured for each individual patient to correct or replace bony voids in the cranial skeleton caused by trauma or birth defects. Streamlined CAD/CAM design and manufacturing techniques will enable Kelyniam to deliver patient specific implants to surgeons in as little as 24 hours from the receipt of an order, unlike similar products on the market that require 4-5 weeks for delivery. The ability to provide custom implants quickly and accurately will reduce the time between trauma and implantation and provide surgeons additional treatment options.

Kelyniam began the development of these new medical devices in the second quarter of 2009. In less than 2 years, the company has perfected a process to quickly and accurately deliver high tolerance, patient specific custom skull implants using PEEK-OPTIMA®. The regulatory expertise gained during the submission process will be applied to future Kelyniam products.

"Receiving the 510K clearance has validated our strategy of applying advanced engineering techniques to specific segments of the medical device market. We are pleased to have reached this milestone," said James Ketner, Kelyniam's President & CEO. "The approval of Kelyniam's Custom Skull Implants allows us to provide our customers unsurpassed service and the most advanced Patient Specific Implants available. Entering the multi-billion dollar trauma fixation market with a high quality custom implant will position Kelyniam as a service oriented leader in the custom device segment."

Kelyniam will now focus on the sales, manufacturing, and customer support of Kelyniam's Custom Skull Implants. The company plans to develop and in-license additional medical devices for surgical markets. The products will be marketed through independent sales representatives with strong relationships in their respective territories.
