Motion preservation & sports medicine

Pushing the boundaries in sports medicine and motion preservation

In 2022, more than 3.6 million people were treated for sports or recreational injuries in the US alone¹. It has never been more important to create new devices and treatments that support motion preservation.

How is Biomedical working to overcome these challenges?

We are driving innovations in motion preservation for shoulders, hips, knees, and extremities with our advanced biomaterial expertise. By focusing on the strength and flexibility of materials used in surgical anchors and sutures, we aim to improve the effectiveness and longevity of orthopedic treatments. Additionally, we develop biocompatible materials which may aid in successful tissue union, supporting faster healing.²

Motion preservation

To solve the diverse challenges in motion preservation and sports medicine, we draw on a broad portfolio of biomaterial technologies to support the body’s natural healing response and potentially improve patient outcomes. These biomaterials can be fine-tuned and customized based on your unique application needs.

Soft tissue repair & augmentation

Here, our biocompatible medical polyurethane scaffolds are ideal for reinforcement and regeneration due to their strength, stability, and compatibility with other biomaterials. These materials are also a great choice for soft tissue augmentation, cartilage repair, and resurfacing orthopedic implants.

Soft tissue reattachment

Our high-strength and reliable Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber enables long-lasting soft tissue repair in suture anchors, and bone fixation.

For high-performance, anchors and screws used in soft tissue repair for various joints, our strong, durable medical polyurethanes are an ideal choice.

Bone remodelling, regeneration & repair

Here our natural biomaterials like bioceramics and medical grade collagen bring unique handling and regenerative capabilities to all kinds of orthopedic devices and surgical applications.
