Humacyte shares surged 38% in premarket trading a day after disclosing the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval of Symvess for adults.

Shares were trading around $4.81. The stock is up 22% on the year.

The biotechnology company said the approval applies to use of the treatment as a vascular conduit for extremity arterial injury when blood flow needs to urgently be restored to avoid imminent limb loss, and when a graft of a vein used to repair blood vessels isn't feasible.

Symvess was used to repair many types of traumatic injuries including car accidents, gunshot wounds, blast wounds and industrial accidents, said Humacyte.
