PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Reg4life acquired (from University of Aveiro) a recent patent on alkali-free bioactive glasses, which were also registered under the “FastOs®BG” mark.
Trials aiming at validating FastOs®BG materials for bone reconstruction and tissue engineering, following the standard protocols established by international health authorities are underway.
The results are essential for ensuring approval and product certification before its introduction in the market.
The products are scaffolds with controlled porosity to support bone regeneration, including customer made implants fabricated by modern and innovative manufacturing techniques, and bone filling materials (powders, spheres, fibres, cements, etc.) according to the declared or perceived needs from the health professionals.
Reg4life aims to become a reference in searching and providing better health solutions in the demanding area of regenerative medicine.
