Purac Acquires FiberLive Technology
Purac recently announced it has acquired the FiberLive technology from Vivoxid Ltd.,
FiberLive is a unique composite consisting of resorbable glass fibers and resorbable polymers, forming the strongest fully resorbable material available today. With the acquired technology, Purac Biomaterials will further strengthen its position in the resorbable biomedical market, enabling Purac Biomaterials to develop, manufacture, and market new materials with load bearing properties.
“This technology will be a game changer in the orthopedic resorbable market, where load bearing properties are needed, such as trauma and spine applications,” said Menno Lammers, Managing Director Purac Biomaterials. “The FiberLive technology is the strongest fully resorbable material available for human implants, with strength up to 6 times higher than cortical bone, comparable to metal.”
