Ratner BioMedical inc. (RBI), a medical devices company
based in Redmond,WA, focuses on
commercializing synergistic innovations in biopolymers,
nanotechnology, regenerative medicine and neuroscience as an
integrated surgical platform.
Research from Johns Hopkins U.,
Duke U. & U. of WA, promise a paradigm shift in
the treatment of peripheral nerve trauma, supplanting sural grafting
by using “active” biodegradable nerve guides that treat several times the
length as current passive hollow tubes. Pioneering also in the
ground-breaking concept of sutureless anastomosis, which can
de-specialize hitherto-sophisticated microsurgeries and shorten
surgical duration by up to 40%, the technologies at RBI are
also opening up novel vistas for vascular, urological, pulmonary
and
gastro-intestinal surgeries.
