Tomorrow’s most advanced medical devices are benefiting from the flexibility and performance of biomedical textiles and custom structures. In more therapeutic areas than ever, textiles are replacing and enhancing traditional rigid materials such as plastics and metals in new ways. Absorbable and permanent biocompatible textiles can be engineered to provide everything from strength and flexibility to ease-of-use for surgeons and improved patient outcomes.  And now, their longevity, long-term viability, and ability to more closely match natural anatomical structures can help make the next generation of device applications possible.

Biomedical Structures (BMS) is a market leader in the advanced design, development and manufacturing of medical textiles for device manufacturers in the orthopedic, cardiovascular, general surgery, and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine markets.  With specialized expertise in innovative polymer technologies and medical-grade manufacturing techniques, BMS is the trusted partner to some of the world’s largest and most innovative device manufacturers.  Following our 2011 acquisition of medical textile manufacturer Concordia Medical, we have also expanded our full line of services, which runs from concept design to complete production, supply chain management, and post-manufacturing sterilization and packaging, all at increased volume and on-demand scalability.
