Creating innovative solutions
from bioabsorbable polymers
Driving Innovation Through OEM Partnerships
Gunze can use a variety of bioabsorbable polymers and processing technologies to develop innovative medical materials and scaffolds that address your specific needs. Our state-of-the-art, Japan-based facility is fully equipped to handle high-mix, low-volume production. Through collaborative OEM partnerships that leverage the characteristics of bioabsorbable materials, we can work together to produce better clinical outcomes and improve patients’ quality of life.
Bioabsorbable Polymers and Processing Technologies
Gunze's core technology focuses on the use of bioabsorbable polymers, including but not limited to:
- Polylactic acid (PLA)
- Polyglycolic acid (PGA)
- Lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer
- Lactic acid-ε-caprolactone copolymer
- Collagen and Gelatin
New medical materials and scaffolds are developed using bioabsorbable polymer processing technology, such as:
- Nonwoven textile
- Spinning thread
- Sponge
- Film formation
- Milling and Molding
Materials produced with bioabsorbable polymers and processing technologies can then be used for:
- Absorbable medical implants
- Medical device components
- Cell culture substrates
- Scaffolds for tissue engineering
- Minimally Invasive Treatment
- Custom-Made Treatment
Our materials and facilities are ISO 13485 certified. We also operate in compliance with FDA regulations.
