    That July 2020 TGA submission seems a long time ago. COVID or not this application has taken far too long at the TGA. I'd flagged 4Q 2021 as my expectation - apologies for my optimism.

    This company application has to be on the verge of TGA approval, in CelGro Nerve (Remplir).

    The TGA's own website advises 90% of new applications being processed in 238 working days (we are around 380 excluding delays - the TGA stops the clock for consultations, etc.):

    We've had the company confirm in the last quarter of 2021 from contact with the TGA, that it believes it meets the TGA requirements and is on track for approval:

    "During the quarter, the Company progressed discussions with the TGA regarding its application for approval to supply Remplir™ in the Australian market for peripheral nerve repair. The Company believes its application meets the TGA’s requirements and is on track for approval.

    Further, the Company is planning a submission for Remplir™ to be covered under private health insurance through inclusion on the Australian Department of Health’s Prosthesis List. In anticipation of market approval, the Company has commenced planning key opinion leader-led education and product awareness events designed to establish key accounts and attract a highquality distributor."

    Just a little reminder what the stock did on the announcement of initial CelGro Nerve results back in May 2019:

    I don't think we are going to get the jump in share price that we saw back then, but back to 50/60's surely very possible with approval (finally) of CelGro Nerve by the TGA (and then on to the FDA)?
