Problem
Current methods for bone and tissue regeneration often rely on materials that lack the necessary biocompatibility and bioactivity to effectively integrate with the body's natural healing processes. This can lead to slower healing times, increased risk of complications, and suboptimal regenerative outcomes. Furthermore, existing solutions may not always be affordable or readily customizable to meet specific clinical needs.
Solution
Synthera develops and manufactures bioactive glass materials designed to enhance bone and tissue regeneration across a range of medical applications. Their products, including Porosyn and Therasenz, are formulated to mimic the composition of natural bone, promoting faster and more effective healing. Porosyn is a family of tissue repair and regeneration products optimized to release elements naturally present in human bone at rates that provide optimum osteostimulation. Therasenz, a 45S5 Bioglass, has demonstrated abilities to repair and regenerate tissues such as bone, dental enamel and skin. Synthera's bioactive glasses can be customized in terms of composition, porosity, and particle size to meet the specific requirements of diverse applications, from bone grafts and dental fillings to cosmetics and disinfection.
Target Audience
Synthera's primary customers include clinicians performing dental, maxillofacial, and orthopedic surgeries, as well as companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device, cosmetics, FMCG, and water treatment industries.
