Present
Amed focuses on several business units, each with significant impact in the biomedical field:
1. Cardiovascular stent-graft for the treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) (ANEURIS): This device is designed to strengthen the wall of the aorta and prevent aneurysm rupture. The endovascular procedure is minimally invasive and significantly reduces recovery time compared with open surgery
2. Custom cranial plate (MyTiCranium): Custom cranial plates are used to repair complex cranial deformities. Made from biocompatible materials such as Ti6Al4V, these plates offer a custom solution that improves facial symmetry and reduces postoperative complications
3. Maxillofacial implants: These implants are used to treat conditions and injuries affecting the head, neck, mouth, and jaw. Maxillofacial implants can replace missing teeth, correct misaligned jaws, and repair congenital defects such as cleft lip
4. Custom knee replacement prostheses (I-KNEE): Custom knee prostheses are designed using 3D scans of the patient's knee, ensuring a precise fit and improving postoperative function. These prostheses are particularly useful for patients who wish to maintain a high level of physical activity.
Mission and Vision
We care about people quality of life.
Our mission is to faithfully reproduce patient’s anatomy and guarantee the minimal operation invasiveness, short post-implant hospitalization and the best integration of prosthetic implant with human tissue, thus increasing lifespan of medical device.
At Amed, we are working to produce customized implants with a perfect fit, by combining the more advanced anatomical reconstruction and modeling techniques and the power of additive manufacturing, thus offering solutions designed specifically for the individual. We also offer, if required, custom cutting guide needed to create implant site.
Our vision: we aim to build trust and become the benchmark of surgeons and patients. We want support them, by choosing and implementing the best medical solution for the individual, ensuring the best performance in terms of quality and safety.
