SDIP Innovations develops JAZBI™, a natural biomaterial designed as an alternative to metallic and ceramic fixation devices for bone repair and replacement. This material allows for biological integration while offering surgeons flexibility in handling, cutting, and pressing during procedures. JAZBI™ offers a significantly more cost-effective solution compared to existing gold standard bioresorbable materials and ceramic alternatives.

Problem
Traditional metallic bone fixators can cause pain, anxiety, and require removal surgeries, leading to increased costs and potential interference with growth in young patients. Current bioresorbable materials are often expensive to manufacture or lack the tunable physical properties needed for a wide range of bone implants.
Solution
SDIP Innovations develops JAZBI™ bioresorbable bone implants that mimic natural bone remodeling to facilitate the healing of fractured bones. JAZBI™ implants are fully resorbable, converting completely to bone tissue and eliminating the need for removal surgeries. The physical properties of JAZBI™ implants are tunable, enabling the manufacturing of a wide range of bone implants and scaffolds. JAZBI™ implants offer a bioactive alternative to metallic fixations at a fraction of the cost of current gold standard bioresorbable materials and ceramic alternatives.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons and hospitals seeking cost-effective, fully resorbable bone fixation solutions that eliminate the need for secondary removal surgeries.
