NanoBone technology consists of unsintered nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and silica gel and is used as a synthetic degradable bone graft substitute.

Biocomposites, a developer and distributer of calcium compound devices that regenerate and repair bone and soft tissue has products used in over 120,000 procedures a year, targeting infection risks and bone regeneration in musculoskeletal, orthopaedics, trauma, spine, foot, and ankle injuries.

“Following on from our acquisitions of Subiton and Synimed last year, we have established ourselves as the go-to provider for surgeons requiring bone regeneration and/or managing infection in bone and soft tissue.” Said Michael Harris, CEO of Biocomposites.

In May Biocomposites launched its STIMULAN products in South Africa for bacterial infection treatment and was claimed to be the only approved calcium matrix, which carries antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infection.
