“Biocomposites identified a significant need to reduce the infection rates from hip and knee replacement surgery. In response they developed STIMULAN Rapid Cure, the first and only calcium sulfate antibiotic carrier that is approved for use in infected bone and soft tissue. The beads in the product deliver an increased level of antibiotics direct to the site of infection and because they absorb as the antibiotic elutes there is no need for further follow-up procedures for the patient.”
“Biocomposites’ products are used in over 120,000 procedures every year and is the only supplier providing calcium sulfate antibiotic carriers for use in bone and soft tissue to the NHS. Overseas sales grew by over 200% in a six-year period from 40 countries including the United States, the Netherlands, China, Canada and India.”
