From developing a robust process to scaling-up by starting production: utilise our eCOO® Developer Packages to establish proof of concept, confirm viability, and conclude with a product launch to your preferred market.

Once the process is optimized for your material, we can perform in-depth verification studies to confirm robustness for up-scaling into a production setting. Here we finalize a fitting production protocol to develop your material according to your product specifications. Necessary data is generated to support your proof of concept. Relevant, extensive microbiology testing and evaluation methods will be defined. Following this, we can support you by creating an executing validations using parameters justifying the process for compliancy with the standards required, such as ISO13485, GMP and ISO11737.

CASE SPOTLIGHT:

REDUCING RISKS ON COLLAGEN PRODUCTS WITH eCOO® CLEAN

Medtech start-up applied eCOO® Clean as processing technology on animal derived serous membrane

 

The objective of the start-up was to expand their portfolio and enter the US market by developing an FDA approved collagen membrane to support dental bone augmentation.

A concept of a safe and effective product was envisioned that would result in excellent regeneration performance and ensure safety of the patient. Furthermore, the regulatory pathway was to be kept as short as possible and supply available for the magnitude of the market.

To achieve this native porcine pericardium tissue was processed with eCOO Clean®, which resulted in a naturally cross linked, safe and effective collagen membrane. As the technology was only slightly adapted for this tissue type, optimizations were quickly established into scalable production protocols and data generation could be initiated quickly with limited risk of failure.

This trajectory resulted in relatively fast production of compliant product and completion of the relevant technical file, as well as a high-quality product. 

“The company succeeded in production of the envisioned product and launch it in the region faster than building in-house production and going through the regulatory pathway”
