The issues of cure
▲ Drugs and medical devices become more advanced, but
still pose challenges
▲ Another issue is suboptimal handling of the device
▲ Current issues are:
▲ Complex diseases with a variety of causes and treatments
▲ Overmedication (of antibiotics)
▲ Extensive cure need due to hospitalization

3. confidential3
Mission
▲ Improve the treatment options for patient and surgeon
▲ Improved working
▲ Longer efficacy (degradation)
▲ Target release
▲ Enhanced handling
▲ Better applicators
▲ Extension application areas
▲ Change functional form

4. confidential4
Elements as innovation
▲ New technologies offer new treatment solutions
▲ Biopolymers are used as devices or carriers for drugs or
tissues: viscosupplements and hemostasis products
▲ BioMed Elements has a technology platform to optimize
the behavior of medical devices by tuning the basic
elements of the polymers
