Products
TETRANITE®
- High Level Description:
- TETRANITE is a synthetic bone adhesive bioengineered from the sandcastle worm's secreted protein. It consists of mineral-organic compounds that transform from a pliable putty to a cement-like adhesive scaffold in wet conditions.
- Key Features:
- Wet Field Performance: Effective bonding in wet surgical environments.
- Multi-Surface Bonding: Adheres to both bone and metal surfaces.
- Mechanical Stability: Rapid mechanical stability, with tensile and shear bond stresses as high as 3 MPa.
- Controlled Biodegradability: Gradually dissolves and is replaced by new bone, maintaining mechanical integrity.
- Cost-Effective: Can be produced in large quantities at a low cost due to its synthetic nature.

Pipeline Applications
Dental Stabilization
- Market Size: Combined U.S. and European market estimated at $1.5B.
- Procedure Simplification: Reduces the current 12-month multi-visit procedure to potentially two visits over six months or less.
- Market Need: 50% of the U.S. population over 45 has missing teeth, with only 2% treated due to complex procedures.
Dental Bone Graft
- Market Size: Estimated at $700M in the U.S. and Europe.
- Need for Innovations: High failure rate (31%) of existing procedures creates a demand for a product that does not require ancillary fixation or containment devices.
Cranial Flap Fixation
- Market Size: $500M combined market in the U.S. and Europe.
- Advantages: Enhances bone healing, reduces infection rates, and improves cosmetic outcomes by eliminating metal fixation hardware.
Fracture Fixation
- Market Size: $500M in the U.S.
- Market Opportunity: TETRANITE for distal radius fractures could reduce complications (currently 36%) from existing fixation techniques.
Dental Animal Health
- Market Size: $950M for filling sockets following tooth extractions.
- Market Opportunity: High rates of periodontal disease in pets and expensive surgeries drive the need for improved dental and orthopaedic solutions.
Conclusion
RevBio is poised to revolutionize bone repair with TETRANITE®, addressing diverse market needs within orthopaedics, dental, and animal health sectors. The company continues to receive significant grants and regulatory approvals, validating the transformative potential of its technology.
