NOTTINGHAM, UK – June 4th, 2025 – 4D Medicine Limited, a pioneering developer of advanced biomaterials for orthopaedic and surgical applications, is pleased to announce its participation as an exhibitor at the Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference (OMTEC) 2025, taking place June 18–19 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Attendees are invited to connect with 4D Medicine at Booth #558, where the company will be showcasing 4Degra®- its innovative bioabsorbable polymer platform that offers unprecedented performance in tissue repair and regeneration. This cutting-edge biomaterial, featuring novel polycarbonate urethane chemistry, is designed to meet the evolving needs of the orthopaedic, spine, and trauma markets. 

4D Medicine will be actively seeking sales channel partners for the Degrafix Interference Screw that delivers improved biocompatibility and more predictable resorption to increase surgeon confidence in long-term procedural success. The DegraFix interference Screw is the first product in a potential portfolio of improved soft tissue fixation devices.

“We are excited to engage with industry leaders and investors at OMTEC 2025,” said Phil Smith, CEO of 4D Medicine Limited. “Our materials offer unique advantages in terms of processibility, biocompatibility, and regenerative potential. We look forward to exploring strategic partnerships that will accelerate commercialization and expand clinical impact.”

Attendees are encouraged to schedule meetings in advance by contacting the 4D Medicine business development team at info@4dmedicine.co.uk.

NOTTINGHAM, UK. 3rd April, 2025 – 4D Biomaterials Ltd, the materials manufacturing subsidiary of 4D Medicine Ltd, a UK university spin-out company developing next-generation bioresorbable medical devices, today announced it has achieved ISO 13485:2016 certification from The British Standards Institution (BSI). 

This globally recognised quality standard for medical device manufacturing marks a critical milestone in the company’s path to market, demonstrating high quality, low risk and customer-focused manufacturing capability. 

The certification confirms that 4D Biomaterials Ltd operates under a quality management system that meets stringent international regulatory requirements — a core prerequisite for the raw materials used in medical devices seeking regulatory approvals, clinical deployment, and global distribution. As such, certification significantly de-risks the company’s commercial strategy. 

Phil Smith, CEO of parent company, 4D Medicine Ltd commented:

“This achievement is a pivotal moment for our materials manufacturing business. ISO 13485 certification validates its operational systems and sends a clear signal to partners and investors: we are ready to scale. It also reflects the maturity of our technology platform, the discipline of our team, and our commitment to executing a high-quality commercialisation strategy.”

This milestone positions 4D to accelerate the development of commercial partnerships, regulatory approvals, and revenue-generating opportunities as it advances its differentiated product pipeline toward global markets.

California, US 30th January 2023 – The dental implant industry is a fairly seasoned one. The development of implantable medical devices dates back to the early civilizations including the Mayans and Incas in Central and South America. 

Since then tinkerers and dentists have created and experimented quite a bit. Materials such as lead, rubber, acrylic, gold, and even cows teeth have been used to fashion implantable devices that can be surgically implanted to help rehabilitate a missing tooth. 

Once titanium was introduced as an implantable material, and CNC machines began to be used to fabricate screw-type dental implants—a quantum leap occurred. In the 1990s, implants were mass produced and in the decades since, they have become the gold standard for tooth replacement, with implants achieving a success rate in the high 90%. 

Now, the industry is dominated by industry giants. The whales in the market have market capitalizations of several billion dollars and they own handfuls of implant companies. And the market is consolidating, leading to something of an oligopoly in the industry.

Now, implant designs are largely all the same. They are a titanium screw with some design principles that are largely agreed upon by the academic literature. Without the quantum leaps in improvements that have been made in the past, the incumbents in the industry are left to vie over who can market their specific features best. In an effort to maintain and gain a marketplace, the incumbents saturate the market with conflicting information about what implant designs are best. The result is that the consumer, the dentist, can become lost in a sea of information and sometimes misinformation.

A new company, Implant Club, has plans to change all of that. This startup is betting that the dental implant industry does not need new features and benefits as much as it needs simplicity, predictability, and convenience. By offering a subscription model for dentists, they eliminate the large investment that dentists typically have to make in order to start offering dental implants to their patients.

Rather than using the typical tactics of features and benefits employed by the incumbents, Implant Club uses quality parts that are largely universal to make it easy for dentists to utilize.

As they are a start-up, not to mention one that is based in Stockton, California, their budget is nothing in comparison to the war chests of the industry. They are not even a blip on the radar. However, their early user tests have been promising. With the right vision and execution, there may be a disruption in an industry that has been quite comfortable for a few decades. Implant Club opens to the public in Spring of 2023. You can check them out here
