Capabilities

PolyNovo develops innovative medical devices utilizing the patented bioabsorbable polymer technology NovoSorb®. NovoSorb is a family of proprietary medical grade polymers that can be expressed in a variety of physical formats. NovoSorb polymers have advantageous properties such as biocompatibility and design flexibility. These properties underpin novel medical devices designed to support tissue repair, before they biodegrade in situ into biocompatible by-products via established pathways. NovoSorb BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) is the first product commercialized by PolyNovo. In 2015, following the FDA 510(K) clearance of BTM, PolyNovo was awarded an $11 million contract and a further $25 million in funding from the US-based Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to complete a trial with NovoSorb BTM for full thickness burns.
