Secant to discuss matching biomaterials with textiles

Dr. Simon will discuss matching third-generation biomaterials with textile engineering to create structures that repair, recover and regenerate the body at the event’s Applied Technology Workshops on Monday October 7th at 3:00 pm.

“At Secant Medical, the end goal is to facilitate the creation of structures that improve the long-term chronic biologic response by reducing inflammation, preventing secondary procedures, and enabling the body to regenerate on its own,” said Dr. Simon. “This generation of new biomaterials presents a value proposition that cannot be ignored in today’s healthcare environment, and I am excited to share what our company is developing in this area.”

During his presentation Dr. Simon will touch on the customizable properties, platforms and regenerative medicine applications of a new bioelastomer being developed by Secant Medical. He will also tie together how the company’s focus on biomaterials and expertise in textile engineering can lead to the creation of regenerative structures for surgical mesh, heart valves, tendons and ligament repair, and nerve regeneration.
