       Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and

lawful attorney-in-fact to:

1.    execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
      capacity as a director or executive officer of Axogen, Inc. (the
      "Company"), a Form ID and Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section
      16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations
      promulgated thereunder;

2.    do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
      may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form ID and
      Forms 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments
      thereto, and timely file such form with the United States Securities and
      Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

3.    take any and all other actions of any type whatsoever in connection with
      the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
      benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
      undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
      attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of
      Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions
      as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's
      discretion.

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
 authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
 necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
 herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might
 or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or
 revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or
 such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause
 to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein
 granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
 serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming,
 nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to
 comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

      This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

      By signing below, the undersigned does hereby revoke any and all other
power of attorney documents previously and otherwise executed in connection with
the undersigned's obligations as a director or executive officer of the Company
to complete, execute and file Form IDs and Forms 3, 4 and 5, any amendment or
amendments thereto, or to do and perform any and all such other actions which
may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith. The undersigned hereby
gives notice to all who have received, relied on or acted upon such previously
executed power of attorney documents and all other interested parties that the
undersigned withdraws every power and authority thereby given and declares such
power of attorney documents null and void and of no further force or effect.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed on the 19th day of July, 2021.
