Another Successful Year at #OTA

Our team are celebrating another successful year at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association meeting, which was held in Montreal, QC last week. Our exciting pipeline of new medical innovations, including VAPS (a cell delivering #osteconductive scaffold), our Minimally Invasive Ankle Fixation Device, as well as our structural Bio-adhesive OsStic®, attracted huge levels of interest on our booth. Recently launched Nerve Repair Solution ‘ReFeel®’ was also a significant point of interest among attendees. In relation to our Education Pathway, the third instalment of the ‘Strengthening the Bond’ series was also well attended, with our panel of surgeon advisors discussing ‘Modern Biomaterial Solutions’ as well as facilitating a hands-on demonstrations of our ‘Breakthrough Biomaterial’ OsStic®.* Thank you to all those who stopped by the booth to speak to our team, and/or attended our symposium. We will see you all next year in Phoenix! #OTA2024 #acceleratingmedicalinnovation #PBCBiomed #biomaterials #orthopaedic #biomaterials #breakthrough *OsStic® is currently in development and not available for human use.

Launch of ReFeel® Nerve Repair Solution at ASSH 2024

PBC Biomed are delighted to announce the launch of our client Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. innovative new nerve repair product – ReFeel® Nerve Repair Solution. ReFeel® is #biocompatible in nature and uses a proprietary alginate and PGA formula to create a bridge for #nerve #regeneration. The freeze-dried alginate sheet suppresses the migration and proliferation of cells that make up granulation tissue; providing a protected environment which facilitates the natural healing process of the nerve. The PBC Biomed Design & Development, Clinical, Regulatory and Commercial teams have been working alongside Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for the last four years; preparing this technology for commercial release. ReFeel® will officially be launched at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) conference in Minneapolis this week. Visit booth #210 for more information on this exciting new technology! Caution: Prescription use only. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. #acceleraratingmedicalinnovation #ASSH24

DTIF-funded project, OsStic® technology awarded #BreakthroughDevice designation by the FDA.

Shannon, Ireland, February 12th 2024: Irish medical device company Biomimetic Innovations Ltd, an affiliate of PBC Biomed, announced ‘Breakthrough Device’ designation from the Food and Drug Administration FDA in January, for the development of a groundbreaking new bio-adhesive bone void filler technology called OsStic®.  PBC Biomed leads a consortium for this development project, which is comprised of Biodesign Europe and SFI Research Centre for Advanced Manufacturing (I-Form) at Dublin City University, and Dolmen Design & Innovation, a Dublin-based product design company. The project (2021 – 2024) is funded under the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), which is a €500 million fund established under the National Development Plan (NDP) in 2018 and led by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and administered by Enterprise Ireland. The aim of the fund is to drive collaboration between Ireland’s world-class research base and industry, as well as facilitating enterprises to compete directly for funding in support of the development and adoption of these technologies.  Welcoming the announcement, Dr Imelda Lambkin, Disruptive Technologies and Innovation Department Manager, Enterprise Ireland commented; “This announcement is a great success for PBC Biomed and is testament to the capability and talent, vibrancy and international competitiveness of the Irish innovation and research system. In line with Enterprise Ireland’s strategy, this success will support the company to build on their existing capabilities, scale and create jobs. “The collaboration between Dublin City University, Dolmen Design & Innovation, Biomimetic Innovations, and PBC Biomed exemplifies the power of interdisciplinary efforts in research and development. The ‘Breakthrough Device’ designation by the FDA validates the promising trajectory of OsStic®, showcasing Ireland’s capability to lead in cutting-edge medical technologies. This achievement not only highlights the success of the project but also emphasizes the importance of sustained investment in disruptive technologies to foster innovation and elevate Ireland’s global standing in the medical device industry.” Professor Nicholas Dunne, Founding Executive Director of Biodesign Europe, Dublin City University and Funded Investigator in the SFI Research Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research. “This announcement marks a major milestone in the evolution of calcium-based biomaterials.
