RTI Surgical is now Evergen!

This rebranding reflects our strategic evolution as a leading CDMO in regenerative medicine and comes at the end of a significant year for the business, including the successful acquisitions of Cook Biotech in IN. and Collagen Solutions, MN. Our new brand identity emphasizes our unique positioning as the only CDMO offering a comprehensive portfolio of allograft and xenograft biomaterials at scale.
