This Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Sulzer AG, a corporation established under the laws of Switzerland, Sulzer Medica Ltd., a corporation established under the laws of Switzerland, and Sulzer Medica USA Holding Co. (n/k/a/ Zimmer CEP USA Holding Co.), a Delaware corporation on November 13, 2000 (the “Schedule 13D”) and as amended by Amendment No. 1 on November 21, 2000 and Amendment No. 2 on January 5, 2001. On April 29, 2004, Zimmer Holdings, Inc. completed its acquisition of Centerpulse AG (f/k/a Sulzer AG). This Amendment is filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Tutogen Medical, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”) and is filed to reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the Common Stock.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The class of equity securities to which this Amendment relates is the Common Stock. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 13709 Progress Boulevard, Alachua, Florida 32615.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The names of the persons filing this statement are Zimmer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zimmer”), Zimmer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zimmer, Inc.”), and Zimmer CEP USA Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“Zimmer CEP” and, together with Zimmer and Zimmer, Inc., the “Zimmer Entities”). Zimmer, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zimmer and Zimmer CEP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zimmer, Inc. The Zimmer Entities are filing this Amendment jointly pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the Exchange Act. The principal offices of the Zimmer Entities are located at 345 East Main Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46581-0708. The principal business of the Zimmer Entities is the design, development, manufacture and marketing of reconstructive orthopaedic implants, including joint and dental, spinal implants, and trauma products and related orthopaedic surgical products.

The directors and executive officers of each of the Zimmer Entities are set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Schedule I sets forth the following information with respect to each such person:

(1)		Name;

(2)		Residence or business address;

(3)		Present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted; and

(4)		Citizenship.


CUSIP No.		90110710		Page		6		of		12

During the last five years, none of the Zimmer Entities nor any of their executive officers or directors have been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby supplemented and amended by the insertion of the following at the end thereof:

On December 23, 2002 (prior to its acquisition by Zimmer), Centerpulse USA Holding Co. (f/k/a Sulzer Medica USA Holding Co.) withdrew from the Capital Partners II, Ltd. Liquidating Trust, a liquidating trust (the “Trust”). Pursuant to this withdrawal, and in exchange for the cancellation of the Trust Units of the Trust that it held, Centerpulse USA Holding Co. received a distribution of an additional 3,958,454 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to report that on March 10, 2006, representatives of Zimmer contacted the management of the Issuer to propose discussions on a range of potential strategic transactions, including, but not limited to, further investment by Zimmer in securities of the Issuer or the acquisition by Zimmer of some or all of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Strategic Transactions”). The purpose of these discussions would be to determine whether any potential Strategic Transaction is in the best interests of Zimmer and the Issuer, as well as the potential terms and conditions of any potential Strategic Transaction.

Depending on the Issuer’s response to the potential Strategic Transactions, as well as other factors deemed relevant by Zimmer, including, but not limited to, the price and availability of Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting Zimmer and the Issuer, the business prospects of Zimmer and the Issuer, general stock market and economic conditions and tax considerations, Zimmer may formulate other plans and/or make other proposals and take other actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer that it deems to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Zimmer also may terminate any discussions of potential Strategic Transactions at any time at its sole discretion.

NEITHER THE PROPOSED STRATEGIC TRANSACTIONS NOR THIS SCHEDULE 13D/A CONSTITUTES AN OFFER TO PURCHASE NOR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO SELL SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) As a result of the relationship among Zimmer, Zimmer, Inc. and Zimmer CEP, each may be deemed to be the beneficial holder of 5,297,124 shares of Common Stock. According to the

To the best of Zimmer’s knowledge, no persons listed on Schedule I hereto own any shares of Common Stock.

(b) As a result of the relationship among the Zimmer Entities, each may be deemed to have shared power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 5,297,124 shares of Common Stock.

(c) There have been no transactions in the Common Stock by any Zimmer Entity or by any person named on Schedule I hereto within the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.
