- Raised $1.5M funding round led by Israel Innovation Authority, Jan 2019
About
Voyager Medical Research is developing proprietary polymers that are designed specifically to help prevent complications.
Its first product, Voyager Surgical Suture (VSS), addresses the post-surgical complication of Incisional Hernia that is effecting up to 20% of patients undergoing a Laparotomy, leading to 5.3% mortality.
ACE Surgical Suture, is a monofilament, absorbable surgical suture, intended for abdominal wall closure. The product is based on a co-polymer that was designed and validated in over 6 years of research at the Institute of Chemistry of the Hebrew University. ACE is composed of PPCA which is a unique co-polymer comprising Poly(Propylene Oxide) and Poly(Caprolactone) blocks, being chained extended with a diisocyanate (Hexamatheylene diisocyanate). Unlike competitor products that only provide 8 weeks of abdominal wall support, ACE offers as much as 5-6 months of support, enough to enable healing even for the most immune-suppressed patients.
