BioDevek
BioDevek is developing biomaterial-based surgical solutions to improve the clinical outcomes following internal surgeries.
Its degradable biomaterials can be injected or sprayed onto biological tissues to protect and improve the healing of traditionally sutured, or stapled, wounds. BioDevek’s ability to engineer the material to degrade at predetermined rates enables leveraging the materials to locally deliver drugs over time, to improve patient outcomes while eliminating the side effects associated with systemic drug delivery.
