3D Bioactive Implant for Bone Self-Repair

Transforming the future of bone healing with innovative solutions.

The Challenge in Bone Repair

Understanding the critical issues in current bone repair methods

Bone fractures are very common traumas. Today, 10% of bone defects don't repair, and it can reach 45% for risk patients (diabetes, elderly, osteoporosis, smokers).

In the case of severe trauma, the standard solution is autograft but the amount of available bone is limited, and the surgical procedure is painful for the patient.

Our Innovative Solution

Advanced 3D bioactive implants that revolutionize bone self-repair

APIOS develops 3D bioactive implants to stimulate bone self-repair. The implant is a scaffold made by 3D printing, which allows control size, shape, and porosity. It can be custom-made for the patient.

Internal and external surfaces are coated with a biomimetic film containing an osteo-inductive protein (BMP-2), which activates bone repair. The 3D bioactive implant is ready-to-use for the surgeon, which simplify the surgical procedure.
