- Lifecore’s Hyaluronate Division is
principally involved in the development and manufacture of products using
hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring carbohydrate which moisturizes and
lubricates soft tissues.
- Hylaform® is Biomatrix'
injectable viscoelastic hylan gel for the correction of facial wrinkles and
depressed scars.
- Clear Solutions technology,
utilizing non-animal derived [hyaluronic acid], has led to the development of
new derivatives. By covalently attaching hydroxycyclophosphamide, an
anti-cancer hydrogel can surround and ensure the localized control of
metastatic cancer cells.
- LifeCell Corporation (Nasdaq: LIFC)
is a bioengineering company engaged in the development and commercialization of
tissue regeneration. LifeCell's first commercial product, AlloDerm®
acellular dermal graft, is used in reconstructive plastic, dental, and burn
surgery.
- Coloplast's full-range,
moist-wound-healing dressing programme includes hydrocolloids, alginates, foam
dressings, cover dressings and hydrogels.
- Advanced Tissue Sciences Inc. -

- Genzyme Tissue
Repair was formed in December of 1994 by acquiring BioSurface Technology.
GTR has strong capabilities in three essential core technologies -- autologous
cell processing, therapeutic protein development, and biomaterials.
- Organogenesis -
"Vitrix" is a soft tissue replacement product comprised of natural
collagen and living human fibroblasts (dermal cells).
- PhotoLink Surface Modification -
