Translating Research & Development

The case studies below showcase our strong track record in biomedical materials and device development.

How do you mend a broken heart?

Learn how CSIRO worked with industry to develop LifePolymer™, which was transplanted into a man in the US in the form of a novel heart valve, to save his life.

Development of CSIRO’s 3D printable silicone

Learn how CSIRO is paving the way for a new era of manufacturing with silicone, with the development of unique silicone resins for making 3D printed medical parts.

Development of procoagulant blood collection tubes

Learn how CSIRO worked with Q-Sera to manufacture a formulation of RAPClot, a coagulant used in blood tests. We developed an entire workflow allowing for easy production of RAPClot coated blood test tubes.

Development of scaffolds for nerve repair

Learn how CSIRO was able to assist ReNerve in pioneering the repair or replacement of damaged peripheral nerves through the development of new polymer biomaterial scaffolds to support the growth of new nerve cells.
