The startup develops three-dimensional-printed bone implants using computer-aided design and a calcium phosphate-fatty acid composite that integrates with the body over time. These implants aim to reduce surgical complications and enhance recovery times for patients with tissue and bone damage, while also lowering procedural costs.

Problem
Current bone implant solutions often consist of materials that are not native to the human body or lack the necessary structural integrity for reliable bone reconstruction. This can lead to complications, slower recovery times, and suboptimal functional outcomes for patients with bone defects resulting from congenital issues, accidents, or diseases.
Solution
Ossiform provides 3D-printed, bio-integrative bone graft substitutes made from β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), a well-recognized ceramic material known for its biocompatibility and resorbability. Using a proprietary 3D printing technique, Ossiform creates patient-matched implants with tailored properties, including a mix of cancellous and cortical components, optimized for bone regeneration and indication-specific biomechanical thresholds. The P3D Bone solutions facilitate the natural forming of new, vascularized bone while providing structural support that remodels into native bone over time. This approach aims to reduce reliance on metal implants and allografts, offering a metal-free solution that promotes faster recovery and improved functional outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons and researchers focused on bone regeneration, tissue engineering, disease modeling, and drug screening.
