Net revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $98.1 million, compared to $102.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 4%.

The decrease in Surgical & Sports Medicine net revenue was primarily attributable to ReNu and NuCel which we stopped marketing in connection with the expiration of the FDA’s enforcement grace period for these products on May 31, 2021 and, to a lesser extent, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales of our Affinity product.
