Tissue Engineering

Soft tissue regeneration places demanding requirements on degradation kinetics, mechanical integrity throughout the healing window, and processability in manufacturing. As a manufacturer of bioresorbable polymers (RESOMER®), and the non-animal, fermentation-derived collagen-like peptide biomaterial (VECOLLAN®), we provide the material foundation your device is built on — from polymer selection through process validation.

Breast reconstruction

Our RESOMER® polymers support scaffold-based approaches to breast reconstruction following mastectomy or lumpectomy in breast cancer patients, with tunable degradation profiles that manage the transition from mechanical support to tissue remodeling.

Medical textiles for tissue reinforcement

For tissue reinforcement applications such as soft tissue support meshes, we supply mono- and multifilament-based solutions tailored to specific mechanical properties, geometry requirements, and degradation profiles required by our customer’s design requirements.

Tendon and ligament repair

With increasing life expectancy and the growing popularity of high-intensity physical activity, orthopedics and sports injuries are becoming more common. Because of the unique properties of these bone-to-tendon and bone-to-muscle interfaces, these applications require materials that combine high mechanical strength with flexibility and excellent tissue interaction. RESOMER® polymers can be used in scaffolds and patches for applications such as rotator cuff reinforcement and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair, while VECOLLAN® non-animal-derived collagen-like peptide biomaterials may enhance tissue integration.

Bioprinting and bioinks

VECOLLAN®'s tunable viscosity make it well suited as a bioink component for extrusion- and light-cured bioprinting of soft tissue constructs. Its fermentation-based origin supports batch-to-batch consistency and eliminates immunogenicity risks associated with traditional collagen sources, both critical for reproducible printability and addressing the needs of regulatory bodies globally.

Dental membranes and cones

In guided bone and tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR), RESOMER® polymers are suitable for barrier membranes, where mechanical stability and reliable space maintenance throughout healing are essential. The polymer degradation profile can be tailored via the monomer ratio to match the desired degradation timeline.

For regenerative applications such as socket preservation cones placed in the alveolar socket after tooth extraction, VECOLLAN® can potentially promote soft-tissue infiltration.
