Evonik and BellaSeno, a developer of 3D-printed absorbable scaffolds, are working together to commercialize 3D-printed scaffolds for bone regeneration. The bone scaffolds are made with Evonik’s Resomer polymers and are used for large and complex bone defects. The companies initially began collaborating in 2019 on scaffolds for chest wall and breast reconstruction.
BellaSeno’s custom-made, resorbable bone scaffolds are designed to ensure the correct anatomical positions of tissue grafts and offer an alternative to autograft, which may lack stability and cannot be packed in a controlled manner.
“Evonik’s Resomer polymers combine excellent stability and flexibility. These mechanical properties and their degradation profile allow the scaffold to be safely absorbed at a rate that matches the formation of the patient’s own bone,” said Mohit Chhaya, CEO of BellaSeno. “We believe that these novel bone generation implants hold great promise for patients.”
“We are excited that these scaffolds offer patients superior healing for bone defects. In BellaSeno we have found a likeminded partner, passionate to innovate for better health and well-being,” said Andreas Karau, global head of Medical Device Solutions at Evonik’s Health Care business line.
