Medical Devices from Cow

A Biotechnology company called Regeneration Technologies headquartered in Alachua in US is involved in the manufacturing of Medical devices like surgical implants, Precision screws and Spinal wedges from bones, tendons and ligaments of cows. As the company’s name the implants have regenerative properties, leading to faster healing, less pain and greater range of motion than patients get from parts made of metal or plastic.

The company‘s website quotes ‘RTI's innovations continuously raise the bar of science and safety in the allograft industry — from being the first company to offer precision-tooled bone implants for spinal surgeries, to inventing the BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process, the only proven sterilization technology that eliminates viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores from tissue without compromising the biocompatibility and structural properties of the biologic implant. The company is leading the biologics evolution once again by introducing the Sterling® Biological Matrix, providing surgeons an expanded supply of safe, sterile tissue.’

This company is one of the most innovative firms identified by CNN for the year 2007
