Magloy Tech is a spin-off from National University of Singapore specializing in the research & development of bioresorbable magnesium implants for orthopaedics and trauma surgery. Currently used osteosynthesis implants for fracture fixation procedures are made of titanium or steel and need to be removed by a revision surgery following healing. The revision surgery is always associated with potential risks and often trigger side effects like infections, pain and necrosis along with requiring another unpleasant hospital stay. Magloy Tech has developed its first product, OrthoMag, after rigorous R&D with the participation of materials scientists in the field of magnesium alloys and clinical physicians from orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery that can make implant removal surgeries obsolete. Implants made of OrthoMag dissolve over time to leave only natural, healthy bone tissue and can significantly reduce post-surgery complications commonly associated with permanent bone implants. Magloy Tech's strategy is to partner with industry leading biomedical implant makers to design and develop bioresorbable magnesium implants across orthopedic, neurosurgery and maxillofacial applications.
