Himed and Mercury Bio Team Up to Develop Unique Osteogenic Materials for Orthopedic Applications
Himed has entered a new realm of research this month with the formalizing of a research and development agreement with Santa Fe, NM-based Mercury Bio.
As a global supplier of calcium phosphate materials and implant surface treatments that support bone repair, Himed wishes to explore the frontiers of organic CaP integrations at the molecular level, and was seeking a partner with promising IP for small particle delivery. We were fortunate to find that partner in Mercury Bio, which has developed a novel advanced drug delivery system that could prove effective at also loading and targeting CaP compounds.
Himed Exhibition Schedule for Medical Device Industry Trade Shows in 2023
This past week we put together an EVENTS page on our website that gives a quick glance of all the places Himed will be in 2023. On that page you can also see past events we participated in, including industry webinars where Himed presented. We’ll be updating this new EVENTS page regularly as we commit to more trade shows and presentations during the year.
Himed’s MCD Apatitic Abrasive Blasting Capacity Is Growing
Here at Himed, we just added a new member to our team of robots. We call it iFAB (short for “fully automated blaster”). It’s a highly-dexterous, automated industrial robot with six-axes of motion, that is contained within a new production cell. The iFab has been specifically designed to deliver our biocompatible MATRIX MCD® treatment to medical devices, dental implants, and orthopedic implants.
30 Years In The Making: Himed Gets Its Own Mailing Address
You know that saying, “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Well, what if something isn’t necessarily broken but could be made better with a few simple changes? That’s exactly the way we saw our address system.
Himed was founded 30 years ago within the facilities of an aerospace coating provider called Hitemco. We’ve since expanded into our own nearby facilities and our business has grown to become a leader in the biomaterials industry.
Yet, through all these years, we’ve been using Hitemco’s shipping and receiving. That setup certainly wasn't broken but we realized we could streamline the process by implementing our own address.
