Orthovita Launches

Vitoss™ Bioactive Foam-2X Bone Graft Substitute at

AAOS (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) Meeting

For Immediate Release

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

MALVERN, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, February 16, 2011 – Orthovita, Inc. (NASDAQ: VITA), an orthobiologics and biosurgery company, confirmed today at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in San Diego, California, that it is launching Vitoss Bioactive Foam-2X Bone Graft Substitute (“Vitoss BA2X”), a non-structural bone void filler for use in the pelvis, extremities and posterolateral spine.

Vitoss BA2X is the first in a series of new product introductions planned by Orthovita that is designed to meet the various bone grafting needs of patients, surgeons and hospitals. “Vitoss BA2X has the same structure and porosity of Vitoss BA but contains increased levels of bioactive glass,” said Antony Koblish, President and CEO of Orthovita. “Our in-vitro data indicate that the increased levels of bioactive glass double the overall bioactivity of the product. Other studies have shown that increasing the bioactivity leads to faster and more abundant bone formation. We believe the combination of increased bioactivity and our unique scaffold design will support more effective bone formation than before.”

“Orthovita has chosen the AAOS meeting to launch this new product as over 14,000 surgeons and allied health professionals are expected to attend the 2011 annual meeting,” said Christopher Smith, Senior Vice President of U.S. Sales. “Orthovita will begin its educational and promotional efforts starting Wednesday, February 16^th, when convention doors open. Product will be commercially available the same day,” added Mr. Smith.

Vitoss BA2X contains Orthovita’s proprietary Vitoss beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffold and Kensey Nash Corporation’s proprietary collagen material. Pursuant to its contract with Kensey Nash Corporation, Orthovita will pay Kensey Nash to manufacture the Vitoss BA2X

product as well as make certain royalty payments to Kensey Nash based on the net sales of such product.
