Purpose and goal
Proposal concerns a simplified process for suture manufacturing that can reduce costs and enable centralization.
Expected effects and result
A simplified process can produce less environmental impact and can allow manufacturing with new manufacturers and in new markets.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is a collaboration between Suturion and an industrial manufacturer and Lunds Universitet who will do a life cycle analysis. The project will develop a manufacturing process and prototypes will be tested in the relevant environment.
