Dissolvable Implants Enhance the Body’s

Ability to Heal Broken Bones The Houston Methodist Center for Musculoskeletal Regeneration recognizes that the human body has an incredible capacity for healing and develops biomimetic implantables to augment these processes.

Center Director and Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Francesca Taraballi, PhD, and her colleagues have demonstrated that all regenerative processes Francesca Taraballi, PhD

Bradley K. Weiner, MD

depend on a complex dialogue among different types of cells.

They have developed a collagen-based scaffold device called 3 Zonal Membrane (3ZM), which is currently in cGMP production, that enhances the structure and composition of growing bones to quickly repair complex fractures that would usually result in high infection rates, slow/incomplete healing or amputation.
