Biomimetic Solutions for Life

Award winning technology

Active in the field of biomimetic implants, LifeMatrix develops human cell derived, off-the-shelf available tissue engineered implants, which transform into living tissue after implantation and have the capacity to grow and regenerate with the patient.

 

The award winning technology is the result of multiple national and international research grants and is backed by more than 20 years of research with over 100 peer-reviewed publications.

 

Extensive preclinical (animal) studies demonstrated safety and efficacy and allow the technology to be translated in to clinical application.
