Magsorbeo Biomedical is a medical device development and manufacturing company founded by a team of industry veterans specializing in bioabsorbable metal implants. These fully absorbable implants are built from Magsorbeo's proprietary Curasorb alloy to improve surgery outcomes for patients, by restoring bone to its natural physiology and then safely absorbing, thereby eliminating the long-term complications and implant removal surgeries often seen with permanent hardware left in the body. Curasorb is designed to safely eliminate the excessive trauma and healthcare costs caused by permanent implants while matching the performance and usability of titanium implants for the surgeon. Lack of performance has limited surgeon adoption of resorbable polymer technology, and early absorbable metal technologies have lacked the necessary absorption performance that Magsorbeo has achieved.

MY01 is a state-of-the-art medical device geared towards aiding in the detection of Compartment Syndrome (CS); a limb-threatening muscle condition that occurs within 48 hours following trauma. Currently, ACS is diagnosed based on subjective and unreliable outcomes like pain (known as 6 P’s), which when present cannot confirm the diagnosis in time for effective intervention. This leads to increased complications (muscle necrosis/amputation) and costs the US healthcare system more than $2.25 B annually. MY01 is capitalizing on a proven correlation between sustained increase in Intramuscular pressures and ACS for objective, early diagnosis. MY01 operationalizes muscular pressure monitoring into a simple, accurate single-use device.
