AirXpanders, Inc. (ASX: AXP), a medical device company focused on the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of the AeroForm^® Tissue Expander System, today announced that the company has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to market a smooth shell version of the AeroForm Tissue Expander.

“We are very pleased to receive FDA 510(k) clearance for the smooth shell AeroForm tissue expander,” said Frank Grillo, President and CEO of AirXpanders. “The plastic surgery community has embraced the textured version of our tissue expander, and they have also been asking us to provide a smooth, untextured version of AeroForm.
