With the launch of the Graftys® BCP,
biphasic ceramic, the company is taking a share in the market for synthetic
bone substitutes. This initial range presents technical characteristics
that meet specific market requirements (porous architecture, mechanical
resistance) and represents a first step towards building a complete and
powerful product offer.
The filing of the patent for for
resorbable bioactive cement confirms Graftys’ intention
to grapple with unresolved market needs. In view of its higher mechanical
resistance, its quick and controlled setting time and optimal resorption,
the Graftys cement clearly contrasts with its competitors.
The company’s desire to innovate is illustrated by the progressive
development of combination technologies involving the association of bone
substitutes (calcium phosphate, cement) and active molecules. Such intelligent
bone substitutes are mixed medical devices allowing local delivery of active
principles to osteoarticular tissues (pain relievers, antibiotics, and bisphosphonates,
for instance).
With the acquisition of rights on patents regarding biological regeneration
of cartilage and intervertebral discs and the prevention of osteoporotic
fractures, Graftys is actively collaborating with French academic research
(INSERM, CNRS) to promote its patents worldwide.
By developing therapeutic solutions designed to combat major pathologies
such as arthrosis, osteoporosis and pain (which are leading themes of the
Bone and Joint Decade), Graftys partakes of the logic to reduce public health
costs.
