Science

Our Technology

Repair. Regenerate. Restore.

The importance of collagen is well understood within the medical industry. Collagen-based regenerative matrices have been widely used in applications such as drug and other biologics delivery and wound healing. However, for soft tissue repair, the historical challenge of collagen-based implants has been creating a graft with sufficient biological and mechanical performance. Embody is leveraging our creative chemistries and improving upon two separate advanced additive manufacturing platforms, electrospinning and microfluidic extrusion, to address these prior limitations.

Technology Platforms

BIOSPIN

Microfibrous collagen bioengineered implant for soft tissue augmentation with biomechanical performance

BIOSPIN, a hybrid electrospun / pneumatospun medical device with highly organized, highly porous collagen-based microfibrous implants designed for soft tissue augmentation.  The BIOSPIN platform technology is used in our TAPESTRY Biointegrative Implant for tendon augmentation.

FABRITEC

Microfluidic biofabricated implant based on precisely controlled molecular assembly of collagen microfibers

FABRITEC, a high-output microfluidic wet-extruded implant of clinical-grade collagen manufactured from the molecular- through product-scale, combined with a proprietary natural crosslinking chemistry, to produce high-strength pure collagen microfibers.  The microfibers generated can be further manufactured into biological textiles, as found in our MICROBRAID and MICROBRACE products.

Our PRODUCTS


TAPESTRY Biointegrative Implant is the first collagen-based implant with a bioengineered micro-architecture and bio-stimulative, highly organized Type I collagen chemistry specifically designed for tendon repair. TAPESTRY’s proprietary physio-chemistry demonstrated dense collagenous tissue in-growth.
