In vivo applications
Discover how our screening platform can be used for medical innovations that improve patients’ quality of life. Do you have an idea for improving the surface of implant material using BiomACS? Don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Cardiovascular stents
In this application, BiomACS focuses on screening cardiovascular stents to test various combinations of surface properties for their impact on cell behavior. These results are used to develop stents that promote active adhesion to the vessel wall in order to prevent complications.

BiomACS currently has two ongoing projects, Medscreen and BIONIC, that focus on this area. In the Medscreen project, BiomACS’s screening technology has made the transition from in vitro screening to an in vivo preclinically validated, optimized cardiovascular stent made of PTFE. This project has been successfully completed. The Medscreen project is being followed by the BIONIC project, where the goal is to develop an endovascular stent with an optimized surface that actively stimulates adhesion to the vessel wall, thereby reducing complications associated with aneurysms.
Custom-made soluble bone fixation implants (Profix)
The BiomACS project, in collaboration with partners such as PolyVation, VDL, Elbo Technics, Innovizie, Smartpolymers, and the UMCG, is innovating in the medical world with customized, soluble bone fixation materials. This technology utilizes advanced materials such as PLA and PEEK, which are processed using rapid manufacturing methods such as 3D printing.

The goal is to provide patients with perfectly fitting fixation devices that promote healing and shorten recovery time by offering precisely tailored solutions for individual bone fractures.
This approach not only enables improved healing, but also strengthens the Personalized Implants Ecosystem. This system integrates complementary knowledge and techniques from the collaborating parties to develop innovative, dissolvable fixation devices. This technological advancement promises to have a significant impact on the future of bone healing and surgical procedures, with solutions specifically designed to meet the unique needs of each patient.
