Biomedical Structures Introduces Breakthrough Medical Textile Weaving Capabilities for Artificial Tendon and Ligament Applications (press release)
Biomedical Structures LLC (BMS), a developer of biomedical textiles for medical devices and other advanced clinical applications, today announced its advanced new tapered medical textile solution for tendons, ligaments and other orthopedic applications. BMS' advanced weaving capabilities provide a high-precision medical textile solution able to match human anatomical construction of tendons and replicate performance.
Complementing BMS' current tapering and bifurcation capabilities for very fine fabrics, the new weaving techniques allow for the creation of more lifelike structures that imitate natural tendon and ligament performance better than ever before. BMS shapes bio-absorbable and permanent fibers to resemble the human anatomy of tendons by developing precise dimensions and load-bearing performance characteristics within a functional shape that mirrors natural geometries. For tendon/ligament repair applications that require sutured tissue and subsequent re-growth of natural cells to replace the damage, this textile engineerin...
