The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise

Biocomposites has been honoured with two awards recognising our excellence in Innovation and International Trade.  Announced annually by Her Majesty The Queen, the awards recognise outstanding achievement by UK businesses.

Innovation

“Biocomposites identified a significant need to reduce the infection rates from hip and knee replacement surgery. In response they developed STIMULAN Rapid Cure, the first and only calcium sulfate antibiotic carrier that is approved for use in infected bone and soft tissue. The beads in the product deliver an increased level of antibiotics direct to the site of infection and because they absorb as the antibiotic elutes there is no need for further follow-up procedures for the patient.”

International Trade

“Biocomposites’ products are used in over 120,000 procedures every year and is the only supplier providing calcium sulfate antibiotic carriers for use in bone and soft tissue to the NHS. Overseas sales grew by over 200% in a six-year period from 40 countries including the United States, the Netherlands, China, Canada and India.”

Singular focus

With a singular focus on developing innovative calcium compound medical devices, Biocomposites has gained a deep expertise in musculoskeletal infections, trauma, spine, foot and ankle, and sports injuries. Connected with universities and hospitals around the world, Biocomposites continues to innovate in infection management to support surgeons and their patients.

Proprietary technology

We pride ourselves on our power to innovate. This focus and ongoing investment in proprietary technologies has driven our teams to push the frontiers of calcium compound medical devices at every stage – with over 100 grants and registrations of IP, a strong R&D pipeline, and a string of world firsts.
