SaluMedica's unique biomaterial, trademarked Salubria, is designed to be similar to human tissue in its mechanical and physical properties. The biostable hydrogel composition contains water in similar proportions to human tissue, making it soft and compliant. For certain applications, the material has been formulated to be exceptionally wear resistant and strong. The base organic polymer is known to be highly biocompatible and hydrophilic. These properties make it an ideal biomaterial, suitable for development into medical products addressing various applications.
Salubria Properties
Salubria™ biomaterial has
many properties that make it an exceptional platform technology
for medical applications, including:
