CGBIO Receives FDA IDE Approval for NOVOSIS PUTTY, Advancing Toward U.S. Market Entry

SEOUL, South Korea, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CGBIO(CEO Hyun Seung Yu), a leading Korean company specializing in bio-regenerative medicine, proudly announces that its innovative bone graft substitute, NOVOSIS PUTTY, has received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This pivotal approval paves the way for a clinical trial in spinal fusion procedures within the United States.

NOVOSIS PUTTY, previously designated as a Breakthrough Device by the FDA in December 2023, leverages novel technology to address unmet needs in bone regeneration. This milestone marks NOVOSIS PUTTY as the first Korean-developed bio-combined medical device to reach this stage in the U.S., signifying a significant step toward Premarket Approval (PMA) and subsequent commercialization.

The product features a dual-carrier system utilizing Hydroxyapatite (HA) and Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), combined with CGBIO’s proprietary sustained-release technology, SLORELâ„¢, to control the release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). This system is engineered to enhance high-density bone formation while minimizing ectopic bone growth, a common adverse effect in earlier rhBMP-2-based products. The safety and efficacy of NOVOSIS PUTTY have been validated in peer-reviewed publications, including the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
