Elastic Titanium Surgical Mesh Implants and Suture MaterialInnovative Mesh Implants
Our goal is to improve the outcome of surgical procedures and thus the lives of patients worldwide.
Our unique microwire technology enables the manufacturing of medical devices made of elastic titanium. This makes it possible for the first time to replace the use of traditional synthetic polymer materials such as polypropylene with microfine titanium structures without having to sacrifice elasticity and flexibility. By using our products, we create long-lasting and sustainable solutions for the medical problems of patients.
PROS AND CONS
Conventional materials
In modern medicine, either elastic synthetic polymers or rigid titanium implants are predominantly used, depending on the area of application.
Synthetic Implants
Pros
- Good adaptive and biomechanical properties
Cons
- Progressive aging process and associated reduction in the strength and elasticity of the mesh implant
- Aseptic inflammatory reactions with thick scar formation
- Postoperative shrinkage of the scarred connective tissue with the risk of partial or complete loss of implant function due to unfolding or migration
- No direct visualization in imaging procedures
- Risk of fixation or irritation of surrounding nerves or organs
Conventional titanium implants
Pros
- High biocompatibility
- Stability and shape retention
- No degradation or corrosion over time
- Good visualization in imaging procedures
Cons
- No flexibility or elasticity with risk of damage to the surrounding tissue
OUR PORTFOLIO
Product Highlights
THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE
The uniqueness of our products from elastic titanium
-
High biocompatibility
Our products are not made of alloys, but of high-purity titanium (99.3%). These special properties result in fewer inflammatory processes, which enables comparatively better biological healing with thinner fibrous tissue encapsulation and less scarring. Numerous studies have shown that titanium has no particular toxicity and carcinogenicity.
-
Moldability
Our unique titanium fabric offers high flexibility yet ample plasticity that allows our implants to fit into any anatomical site while retaining its elastic behaviour when exposed to stress.
-
Hydrophilicity
The high hydrophilicity of titanium allows optimal placement of the implant over the tissues and reduces the need for fixation. It also promotes viable tissue ingrowth and mesh integration, thereby resulting in fewer connective tissue adhesions and bridge formation.
-
Corrosion resistance
Unlike synthetic material, titanium does not degrade in the body. Thus, our mesh implants do not change in size or display altered chemical and physical properties over time.
-
Visualization
Titanium provides contrast in imaging procedures (e.g. X-ray and MRI). This makes it possible to check the position of our mesh implants in the operating room and at any time afterwards. This facilitates correct positioning and the decision on a possible revision.

Medical Fields of Application
Our innovative technology for manufacturing implants from microfine titanium wires allows the development of a wide variety of products for diverse medical applications. Our products can be used wherever tissue needs to be built up and reinforced. For the time being, our primary focus is on hernia, urogenital, pelvic floor and dental surgery.
