Deep Craft In Coral Biology
At Zoan BioMed we’re developing safe, naturally derived, osteogenic medical devices for cutting edge approaches in orthopaedic repair that will reshape the face of modern healthcare.
We are developing a platform to make this natural resource available to improve the quality of life of countless patients without any detrimental impact on the environment.
The Zoan Advantage
Cultivating a natural alternative to animal, human or synthetic bone graft materials
Osteoconductive
Zoan BioMed has the ability to induce bone-forming cells in the grafting area to move across a scaffold and slowly replace it with new bone over time. Coral serves as a scaffold onto which bone cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) can attach, differentiate, communicate and proliferate
Osteostimulative
Zoan BioMed coral is not passive in the healing process, rather it brings nature’s blueprint for growth to traumatised bone. It is highly welcoming to healing stem cells and the bioactive surface helps (stimulates) them to form colonies, quickly.
Living Porosity
The coral design their scaffolds on the outside of their growing tissue. This means the scaffold has housed sensitive life before and as ZoanG03 quickly brings structure and healing to the wound.
Biodegradable
Fully re-modelled by the body and replaced with healthy living bone.
Sustainable
Zoan BioMed has licensed CITES approved, fully traceable coral species which is grown and harvested in a highly controlled environment. This ensures access and societal gain to this natural resource, without threat to natural environments. (CITES: Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).
Production Efficiency
Zoan BioMed has uniquely translated the natural assembly process of the coral to a manufacture process, operated through EN ISO 13485: 2016 medical devices. A uniquely scalable platform, derived from nature, offering exponential growth.
Zoan BioMed is supported by
Eu Bioeconomy And Blue Growth Strategies
Zoan BioMed coral bone graft material unlocks an oceanic resource that meets the EU Bioeconomy and Blue Growth strategic objectives of the responsible development with citizen sustainable consumption. Using only the purest Atlantic seawater to cultivate a proprietary and fully licensed species of coral, we are inspired by nature without endangering the natural ecosystem.
