TYBR Health
Natural hydrogel to keep internal organs scar-free after surgery
What they do
Post-surgical internal scarring around tendons and ligaments can impair healing and lead to poor patient outcomes.
TYBR Health develops a naturally derived hydrogel applied during surgery to coat tendons and reduce internal scar formation.
Orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons and hospitals performing tendon or ligament surgeries use it during procedures.
