It is designed to fix bone fractures (osteosynthesis) as well as after osteotomies such as the correction of deformities or malalignments.

The RemeOs bioresorbable magnesium implant allows the bone to heal and is designed to be replaced by bone naturally.

It also eliminates removal surgeries which are required in several cases while using traditional implants.

The company aims to receive the CE mark and launch the new RemeOs product into the EU markets this year.

Bioretec CEO Timo Lehtonen said: “Filing for the CE mark on schedule is an important milestone in the commercialisation of our first RemeOs product and a great end to our first year as a listed company.

“I am proud of our team’s commitment and effort to reach this milestone. It follows our strategic goal of developing and commercializing innovations that increase patients’ quality of life.”

The company stated that its new RemeOs product line is being developed using a magnesium alloy and hybrid composite.

Furthermore, the RemeOs implants facilitate fracture healing.
