$7MAbout Aperion Biologics
Aperion Biologics is a clinical-stage medical device company addressing the need for alternatives to human-based grafts with patented animal based tissue. Aperion Biologics has developed and patented a technique to make animal tissues usable for human applications without causing rejection. The core platform technology is an enzymatic stripping of the key carbohydrate antigens followed by a unique conversion process that both "humanizes" and sterilizes the tissues without affecting the biomechanical or biological properties. This tissue scaffold provides mechanical stability and function while being biologically integrated and remodeled. Aperion's Z-Process of humanizing and sterilizing tissue can be applicable to a variety of tissues from orthopedic ligaments, bone, and meniscus to valves and vessels to soft tissue grafts for augmentation and repair.
