Biosynthetic electrospun materials for tissue-facing medical devices
The Symatix® platform provides biosynthetic electrospun materials, combining synthetic fibre structures with natural materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid or chitosan.
It helps medical device teams develop tissue-facing membranes, scaffolds and implantable materials where material structure, handling, tissue interaction and manufacturability all matter.
For wound healing, hernia and abdominal repair, orthopaedic soft tissue and other tissue repair applications, Symatix® technology provides a route to biosynthetic materials designed with development, validation, scale-up and manufacturing in mind.

What Symatix® is
Biosynthetic electrospun materials that combine fibre control with natural material functionality
The Symatix® platform uses electrospinning to combine synthetic fibre structures with natural materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid or chitosan.
Rather than treating the natural material as a surface-only addition, the Symatix® platform can integrate it within or alongside the electrospun fibre network. This creates biosynthetic membranes, scaffolds or tissue-facing materials with properties tailored to the application.
For device teams, the Symatix® platform combines the structural control of electrospun synthetic fibres with selected natural material properties, while keeping handling, repeatability and scale-up requirements in view.
Combining The Benefits Of Synthetic Fibres And Natural Materials
The natural material is introduced in between the electrospun fibre network during production, creating a composite biosynthetic material. This process leverages mild solvents and controlled deposition to ensure the natural material integrates effectively without compromising its structure. The resulting network offers a balanced combination of mechanical strength and the specific functional benefits of the natural material.
Why Symatix® Matters
Designed for applications where material structure and tissue interaction both matter
Tissue-facing medical devices often need more than a synthetic scaffold or natural material alone. They need materials that combine controlled fibre architecture with selected natural material properties, while still being suitable for handling, repeatability, validation and scale-up.
In wound healing, hernia and abdominal repair, orthopaedic soft tissue and other repair applications, material performance depends on how structure, porosity, degradation, mechanical behaviour and tissue interaction work together. The Symatix® platform supports this by creating biosynthetic materials that can be tailored around the needs of the application.
In wound healing, hernia and abdominal repair, this matters because teams are increasingly looking for scalable biosynthetic materials that can deliver tissue-facing performance with greater control over manufacturing and cost-of-goods. This is especially relevant where teams need tissue-facing membranes, scaffolds or matrices that offer a more controllable and scalable material route than relying on biological graft materials alone.
What Symatix® Enables
Biosynthetic material performance designed around the application
The Symatix® platform gives device teams a way to combine the structural control of electrospun fibres with selected natural material properties, creating biosynthetic materials that can be tailored around tissue-facing medical device requirements.
One-step material integration
Integrate natural materials within or alongside the electrospun fibre network during production, supporting a more direct route to biosynthetic material development.
Controlled natural material distribution
Position materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid or chitosan within the fibre structure, depending on the application and required material behaviour.
Tunable scaffold and membrane properties
Engineer porosity, fibre architecture, thickness, handling and mechanical behaviour around tissue-facing device requirements.
Gentle processing conditions
Use mild processing conditions designed to preserve the qualities of selected natural materials during integration.
Integrated material solutions
Combine the Symatix® platform with proprietary or customer-supplied natural materials and our other technology platforms to create layered, hybrid or multi-functional biosynthetic structures for development and evaluation.
