As the global population ages, the demand for materials that sustain & augment body functions has greatly increased. The accompanying surgery has also become standard practice, especially for hip and knee replacements. It is easy to forget that the human body is a highly hazardous and toxic environment in which biomaterials have to perform. Failure of such materials can be prohibitively costly and often prohibitively dangerous to repair.

The biomedical materials range within the Group is produced to very demanding specifications. Our powders are made to handle exactly to the customers requirement and perform to the satisfaction of all concerned. We can create the desired performance and handling through tight control over molecular weight, particle size and copolymer balances. The powders stay inert to the immune system but perform brilliantly well.
