Osteopore
A corporation strategically poised to be a leading medical device company in this region.
All of our products are developed using state-of-the-art technology and adhere strictly to international quality standards with the ultimate goal of creating safer and more effective clinical solutions. Osteopore is recognized globally and is a manufacturer for new engineering innovations for medical applications of tomorrow. In the present climate of increasing life expectancy with a resultant increase in bone-related injuries, orthopaedic, plastic and reconstructive surgery are undergoing a paradigm shift from standard bone grafting to tissue engineering, where a scaffold is implanted to provide sufficient load-bearing support and regenerate tissue. In 1999, a team of Singapore engineers and clinicians designed a technological platform for the manufacturing of novel 3-dimensional (3D) scaffolds, which marked the beginning of Osteopore. At Osteopore, our products are fabricated in-house using 3D printing technology that is precise and allows for customisation of shape and geometry.
