Flexible bioabsorbable metal Our flexible bioabsorbable metal technology secures biocompatibility according to ISO 10993. 19 kinds of materials were developed to provide mechanical properties. Decomposition characteristics can be controlled. Our wire rods are of similar technology to that produced by industry leader Fort Wayne Metals in the United States, and we are the only company producing this kind of metal plate worldwide. Innovative materials and products can be supplied to the implant and drug delivery market at an unrivaled level. 2. Bioabsorbable metal implant Micro-invasive aesthetic medical devices can lift faces, breasts, thighs, etc. within 15 minutes. We are expected to start clinical trials with this technology in 2021, with approval by 2022. After initial approval, material-related safety data can be used in the same way, thus securing a product portfolio and accelerating the approval period and commerical competitiveness over time. 3. Bioabsorbable metal microneedle We are the first in the world to commercialize microneedles with flexible bioabsorbable metal using only essential elements in the human body. In Korea, sales are expanding through our own distribution network (on/offline in Olive Young in 2020), and exports are expanding to Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Russia.
