WORLD'S FIRST PERMANENT INJECTABLE IMPLANT,
THAT'S REVERSIBLE

Cellulora™ is developing a novel cellulose-based material for soft tissue repair. It’s designed to be an injectable, long-term filler with biocompatibility matching autologous tissue.

ABOUT

At Cellulora™, we are committed to redefining healthcare by developing safe, innovative biomaterials that make patients look and feel better.

There is a need in medicine for safer, more effective biomaterials for use in tissue reconstruction. 

Current injectable implants and fillers are limited in their ability to immediately correct contour defects and in their longevity. 

Cellulora's™ product pipeline combines natural plant-based ingredients and amazing chemistry to produce safe and effective long-term implants. 

OUR SCIENCE

Cellulora’s™ patented technology is based on derivatives of the plant polysaccharide, cellulose, which are modified to achieve stable material properties that match native soft tissue. Cellulora's™ two-component cellulose-based filler thermally gels upon injection and, within minutes, forms a chemically crosslinked hydrogel.

Unlike other natural long-term fillers that are prone to breakdown due to the activity of enzymes present in the body, our cellulosic materials cannot be degraded naturally due to the lack of the cellulase enzyme in humans.​

This creates a stable volumizing material that can maintain shape and functional properties over a long duration.

Properties such as viscosity and stiffness can be tuned for various applications and anatomical locations.

Although stable, Cellulora’s™ hydrogels can be selectively reversed by enzymatic treatment.
