Projectdetails

Introduction

Over 400 million people globally suffer from back pain. Disc degeneration disease is the prevalent cause of back pain and it is responsible for high social and economic costs.

Current Treatments

Current treatments are only symptomatic, including:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Pain management
  • Surgery

However, these treatments do not regenerate the disc and its function.

VitaDisc

At NC Biomatrix, we have developed VitaDisc, the first non-invasive early restorative treatment for disc degeneration that has the power to revolutionise the orthopaedics market.

Features of VitaDisc

  • It is an acellular porcine-derived injectable biomatrix.
  • Restores disc height.
  • Provides optimal support to regenerate the disc.
  • Aids in restoring healthy spinal biomechanics.

Mode of Action

Its mode of action is fully mechanical, and it can be easily administered in an outpatient setting, giving it a unique market advantage.

Future Prospects

Our biomatrix platform technology is readily scalable and provides a pipeline of further products for unmet needs in orthopaedic treatments, such as early-stage knee joint arthritis.
