Company Summary

LaunchPad Medical is commercializing an injectable, self-setting bone adhesive that can bond bone to bone and bone to metal to stabilize implant devices. Over time, the adhesive biodegrades and is replaced by new bone. This unique material will reduce the duration and complexity of medical procedures, allow for more minimally invasive surgeries, and will improve patient outcomes by reducing recovery time and the overall cost of care.
