Application spotlight: Beyond biomaterials
Ulteeva Purity™ polyethylene powder is an essential component in orthopedic implants for hip and knee, but at dsm-firmenich Biomedical our value stretches beyond biomaterials in these applications.
We are proud to be part of dsm-firmenich – which has been a leader in vitamin development and manufacturing for more than 70 years. This in turn gives us the potential to combine Ulteeva Purity™ powder with our parent company’s vitamin E in orthopedic implants – where it functions as an essential antioxidant that extends the lifetime of the device.
Potentially, great news for our partners, patients – and the planet.
We create sustainable healthcare solutions that deliver tangible and valuable sustainability benefits to our partners – with no compromises on safety or performance.
