With decades of experience orchestrating the movement of personnel and cargo on a global scale, General Johns brings unparalleled insight into large-scale aerial logistics operations, military mobility strategy, and government readiness planning. "Our nation's logistics infrastructure, especially for the military, needs modernization. Aeros brings a platform that's scalable, strategic, and mission-ready. I'm excited to guide their efforts as they move from prototype to operational capability." The Honorable Mark Sanford, former U.S. Congressman and Governor of South Carolina, now CEO of a private last-mile logistics company.

restor3d Announces Successful Limited Market Release of the Aeros™ Modular Stem Total Ankle System with Five Cases Performed on Day One
BUSINESS WIRE)--restor3d, a leader in 3D printed, personalized orthopedic implant care, proudly announces the successful limited market release of the Aeros™ Modular Stem Total Ankle System, with five cases performed on launch day, May 5, 2025, at OrthoCarolina by renowned foot and ankle specialists Dr. Kent Ellington and Aeros design team member, Dr. Samuel Ford. 'The Kinos Modular Stem system combines modularity, versatility, and simplicity in a way the TAR market has long needed,' added Dr. Ford. 'This is a platform I'm confident will appeal to both experienced and new users alike.' The Aeros Modular Stem, the latest addition to the Kinos Total Ankle family, represents the first and only anteriorly inserted modular stem tibial implant available for Total Ankle Replacement (TAR). Cleared by the FDA for both primary and revision indications, the system enters a limited market release throughout 2025, with full commercial launch anticipated in 2026. 'We are exhilarated to see this system come to life in the OR with such a strong start,' said Dr. Samuel Ford. 'The streamlined instrumentation and thoughtful design of the Aeros Modular Stem made for an efficient intraoperative experience, and it opens new doors for both primary and complex revision ankle arthroplasty cases.' Designed for efficiency, versatility, and ease of use, the Aeros Modular Stem requires just three trays of procedure-specific instruments, compared to up to seven trays for competitive systems. The implant is inserted through a standard anterior TAR incision, avoiding violation of the heel, calcaneus, or subtalar joint—a key differentiator from other intramedullary systems. The refined instrumentation provides a hands-free working area for streamlined tibial canal preparation, with coupled and standalone Patient Specific Resection (PSR ™) Cut Guides providing greater intraoperative flexibility, particularly in complex deformity cases. Restor3D's proprietary TIDAL Technology on all tibial and talar implants provides scientifically proven, research backed osseointegration potential, further emphasizing the role of the Kinos Total Ankle System in advancing total ankle arthroplasty. The system is fully compatible with all existing Kinos Flat Cut Talus and bearing components, including its interchangeable Anatomic and Range articulations. In simulator testing, both articulating bearings demonstrated substantially improved polyethylene wear performance, with 200% less wear than Competitor A and 400% less than Competitor B¹. Competitors A and B were selected for comparison due to their length of time in the market and considerable clinical follow-up data presented in the literature. This advancement reflects the biomechanically accurate design of Kinos and directly addresses the growing demand for longer-lasting implants as survivorship rates improve. Early retrospective studies are underway to validate an anticipated 30% reduction in operative time versus traditional stemmed systems—a meaningful objective given published data by Gross et al.², which links every 15-minute increase in TAR operative time with a 10% increase in complications, 33% increase in wound dehiscence, and 16% increase in reoperations. 'The Kinos Modular Stem system combines modularity, versatility, and simplicity in a way the TAR market has long needed,' added Dr. Ford. 'This is a platform I'm confident will appeal to both experienced and new users alike.' ¹ Data on File ² As presented at AOFAS 2024 Annual Meeting 'A Prospective Evaluation of a 4th Generation Total Ankle Prosthesis with Flat Cut vs Chamfer Cut Talar Component" 9/13/2024 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada About restor3d, Inc. restor3d is a world leader in 3D printed patient specific musculoskeletal implants and driven by the belief that every patient deserves personalized care.

Price of popular chocolate bars to soar in the UK - is YOUR favourite included in the list?
The price of multiple popular chocolate bars could soar in the UK, according to reports. KitKats, Yorkie bars, and Aeros are among the sweet treats made by Nestle that could soon cost consumers more. According to Nestle, this is because of increasing commodity costs, which means that it is more expensive to make its products. The conglomerate revealed that while it has already raised its prices this year, further increases come be coming. In the first quarter of 2025, price hikes in the cost of coffee beans and cocoa saw Nestle raise prices by 2.1 per cent overall. The price hikes were higher in some markets, according to the Swiss company, with the increases in the double digits. Because of these growing prices, its sales growth by volume was affected, Nestle has said. However, its sales of of 2.8 per cent in the first quarter of 2025 was higher than expected - this is largely due to price increases. Prices of chocolate have risen in general over recent years, with consumers facing an almost 50 per cent increase. This is due to both increasing prices and shrinking portion sizes - dubbed 'shrinkflation' by some. Last month, it was reported that shrinkflation had hit Cadbury's chocolate again, as multipacks of Dairy Milks were cut by two bars - but the price stayed the same. The 22 per cent reduction means packs which previously weighed 244.8g are now 190.4g, but are still around £3 - with each individual bar costing an extra 10p. Shoppers reacted furiously to the change, with one posting on X: 'Shrinkflation has gotten so bad the chocolate can stay forever on the shelf from this day onwards.' Manufacturer Mondelez International blamed increases in cocoa and dairy prices for the size change, as well as rising transport and energy costs. It came after Cadbury Twirls were cut from 10 fingers to nine while also remaining at the same price. Ellie Macsymons, finance expert at money-saving site NetVoucherCodes, said: 'Customers will, understandably, react negatively to Dairy Milk charging similar prices for 22 per cent less chocolate per product. 'Shrinkflation is causing loyal customers to feel frustrated because they are essentially getting less value for their money, especially from a trusted brand they have bought from for decades. 'However, while some customers may switch to chocolate brand alternatives that offer better value for money, it may be the case that there is a lot of 'reluctant acceptance' from dedicated Dairy Milk fans. 'The current shrinkflation situation may not entirely dissuade its customers, but if this trend continues, then there may be further fallout for the chocolate brand.' A Mondelez International spokesperson said: 'We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business. 'However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously. 'Meanwhile, other costs like energy and transport, also remain high. 'This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges. 'As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.'

Aero issues ‘urgent' warning about chocolate bars — but it could get you £10,000
If you're a fan of Aero's bubbly chocolate, you might notice something a little different about the sweet treat in the coming weeks. That's because the brand, which is owned by Nestlé, has revealed it's had a 'bubble breach' at its York factory. As such an 'urgent' message has been issued, warning customers that bubble-less Aeros will be cropping up across the UK and Ireland very soon. Yes, it's a cheeky marketing stunt, but if you're someone who buys Aero chocolate bars regularly, you might want to take note, as you could nab yourself £10,000. While some will undoubtedly be disappointed if they were to buy an Aero and find it was just a regular slab of chocolate, certain packs of bubble-less bars will contain inserts offering a cash prize of £10,000. You won't know whether or not you've got a winner just by looking at a pack though, as they are said to contain chocolate products that weigh and feel the same as their bubbly counterparts. Regular bars could also win you money, with £100 daily prize draws for those who verify their chocolate had bubbles in on the Aero website. There are 10 lots of the £10,000 prize available to be won until April 20, 2026, and if you manage to get one, you'll want to be sure you've kept your receipt somewhere safe in order to claim it. Emily Lord, Senior Brand Manager for Aero, said: 'We want to apologise and reassure everyone that creating our deliciously bubbly chocolate remains a top priority. We'll be doing everything we can to make sure no further bubbles escape. More Trending 'If anyone finds a bubble-less pack, please reach out to us right away, and don't forget to keep your receipt and winning insert.' She added: 'We need to get the bubble-breach contained as soon as possible.' In other chocolate news, Toblerone recently left fans devastated with the announcement that the dark version of its iconic bar was being discontinued. And Cadbury was at the centre of a controversy last week, as fans falsely accused them of removing the word 'Easter' from Easter egg boxes after 100 years. Turns out, people just weren't looking closely enough at the packaging… Do you have a story to share?
