Utilising electrophoretic pulsed deposition manufacturing for the production of collagen films for medical applications
Benefits
- Manufacturing is compatible with medical grade collagen
- Larger size and thickness collagen films compared to existing products available (e.g. DuraMatrix by Stryker)
- Manufacturing can be optimised to control characteristics, such as toughness and shape.
- Compatible with cell deposition to enable delivery of cellular factors.
Applications
- Large area topical wound healing, thoracic membranes, dental implants, nerve implants, bone implants
- Peridontal Disease and Maxillofacial surgeries
- General Surgical Membranes (Anti-adhesion membranes, Dural Membranes)
- Wound Care (Dermal grafts and burn coverings)
- Cardiovascular (have explored cardiac patches)
- Orthopaedics
Opportunity
- National patent (WO2019/219916) granted in US & JP, prosecution ongoing in Europe
- Available for licensing and co-development
