CE comment
“The second quarter of the year was positive and sales continue to grow, both sequentially and year-on-year. We are also delivering growth with increased profitability. The organization is goal-oriented and focused, which is yielding results in the form of commercial advances on our main markets, and development projects and clinical trials are proceeding according to plan and within budget. We look forward to the rest of the year and the future with confidence as we gradually move closer to realizing our vision - that no one should die waiting for a new organ.”
