Prestige was released by the FDA (approved) as of Monday.

Bryan is not released. The FDA panel met to review data. The panel recommended that the product be released with conditions. It may be 1 month, 6 months or never... we'll see how fast they act. I think it's pretty irrelevant as the Bryan implantation technique is so problematic that few surgeons (that I know of) are interested in doing them. (Just my layperson opinion.)
