Redefining Excellence in Bioabsorbable Medical Devices

A once-in-a-generation innovation, set to revolutionise the future of bioabsorbable medical devices.

Groundbreaking Research

After 15 years of groundbreaking research, Professor Andrew Dove – a world leader in bioabsorbable polymer chemistry – has developed 4Degra®, a patented, game-changing implantable medical polymer.

4D is focused on two critical areas of innovation designed to improve surgical outcomes and enhance patient quality of life worldwide.

Biomaterials

4D’s patented polymer resin platform, 4Degra®, delivers an improved biodegradation profile, enhanced biocompatibility and unique 3D printing capability, unlocking the full potential of biodegradable medical devices in a global market worth over $1bn.
