- Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $29.9 million compared to $20.2 million for the same period in 2023, a 48% increase attributed primarily to product sales from the recently acquired surge line hardware and biologics business.
- Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 62.1% compared to 61.6% for the same period in 2023, with the increase attributable to greater scale and improved production efficiency.
