Profile
Tissuemed is a leading medical device company with a reputation for technical innovation dating back over twenty years. The company has its origins in the development of tissue-based therapeutic devices including developing the first tissue heart valve to gain regulatory approval in Europe, subsequently developing "living" vascular grafts and collagen patches. The company famously developed light-activated surgical adhesives for which Tissuemed was the Gold Winner of the Medical Design Excellence Award in 2001.
Most recently, after six years of focused R&D activity, Tissuemed has brought to market the TissuePatch product family of multilaminate absorbable surgical sealant films.

The Tissuemed adhesive biomaterials group has been established in order to offer technology partnering and a bespoke polymer design, synthesis and manufacturing programme to suitable third parties who may be for example manufacturers of surgical implants which with adhesive capability could be functionally enhanced.
