Inspired by nature, motivated by health

At inSoma Bio we borrow nature’s own designs to develop unique products for reconstructive plastic surgery. Our product enables surgeons to use a person’s own tissue instead of synthetic implants and fillers to improve procedures like breast and facial reconstruction.

Fractomer Biomatrix

Ball Decoration

Bio-inspired

Fractomers are based on protein sequences naturally found in the human body.

Tissue Supportive

Fractomers provide support, shape, and biointegration for co-injected cells or tissues.

Thermal Switch

We have built in a thermal switch, so that our materials are only activated at body temperature.

Recombinant

Our materials are designed at the genetic level and produced without the need to harvest natural tissue.
