Latest: Biomedical Structures Introduces Novel Absorbable BIOFELT® Scaffold For Breakthrough Surgical Applications

WARWICK, R.I. — January 17, 2012 — Biomedical Structures, LLC (BMS), a designer, developer and
company of biomedical textiles for health care gadgets and other advanced medical apps,
these days introduced its new BIOFELT® absorbable scaffold for implant products in orthopedics,
cardiology, and common surgery, as nicely as other in vivo applications. BIOFELT’s exclusive
non-woven composition offers a fibrous matrix platform that permits natural tissue in-development in
surgical apps.

BIOFELT is a 3 dimensional non-woven structure with really large surface area location and void
volume developed to advertise all-natural cell adhesion and regeneration. Created from PGA (Polyglycolic
Acid), PLLA (Poly L Lactic Acid) and copolymers this kind of as PLGA (co-polylactic acid/glycolic acid),
BIOFELT can be used as a element of health-related units or surgical techniques with the profit of
bio-absorbability.

“BIOFELT is a fantastic illustration of how traditional tissue engineering engineering and supplies
can be utilized in more progressive methods throughout medical product sectors,” explained Dean Tulumaris, President
and CEO of BMS. “BMS’ determination to emerging gadget growth has prolonged been one particular of our strengths,
and we dedicate remarkable assets to the engineering of personalized remedies to the most
challenging and novel device challenges. We are thrilled to provide our absorbable fiber and style
expertise into new and emerging clinical apps with BIOFELT.”

BIOFELT is customized-engineered for individual device specifications and is available in a wide
array of densities and thicknesses to allow for app-specific functionality. Confirmed in
cardiovascular, orthopedic and urological tissue regeneration programs, BIOFELT has been
utilized in every little thing from internal wound conduite to hemostasis. As a non-woven cloth,
BIOFELT can be made as flat sheets, discs, tubes and a range of other geometric styles with
an absorption profile from anywhere from much less than thirty days to one particular calendar year.

Biomedical Structures supplies advanced design and style, growth and production of biomedical
textile structures with knowledge in knitting, braiding, weaving and non-woven technologies.
The company makes use of a wide giving of biocompatible absorbable and non-absorbable materials in
units, drug delivery and surgical systems for orthopedic, cardiovascular, bariatric, beauty and
veterinary medication programs.
