EIO Biomedical Preventing surgical adhesions safely

This project has received funding  from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 827874

Surgical adhesions are one of the most pressing unmet needs in surgery today. Post-surgical adhesions form at high rates causing severe complications. The impact on health systems is estimated at billions of dollars yearly.

​

SME Instrument - Phase 1 awarded

• The EIO Biomedical system – fixed instrument utilizing single use sterile kits (one per patient)

  • Device: a set of syringe pumps and motors

  • Kit: single use, disposable, pre-assembled syringes, valves, and extraction manifold

​

Unlike traditional adhesion barriers, the EIO Biomedical solution contains no polymers or zoonotic proteins, greatly reducing the potential for adverse reactions
