Heraeus Accelerator Medical Products

The Global Business Unit Heraeus Medical focuses on medical products for surgical orthopedics and traumatology. As the industry leader in bone cements, we have been recognized several times as one of the most innovative companies in the German SME sector with the TOP 100 Award. Our goal is to increase clinical success and patient quality of life through solutions in the areas of joint replacement fixation, infection management and regenerative orthopedics.

For the Heraeus Accelerator, we are looking for start-ups and partners in the following fields:

We are always on the lookout for the production strategies for tomorrow's medical technology. We are therefore looking for start-ups with ideas for the further development of production technologies, Industry 4.0 technologies or alternative manufacturing processes in the medical technology sector.

We are looking for start-ups with products and solutions for the early treatment of degenerative joint diseases, especially the regeneration of cartilage tissue.

For guided bone regeneration, we are looking for products for bone augmentation for defect filling after trauma or after osteosynthetic surgery.

Heraeus Medical is working on solutions for endoprosthetics to provide the best possible treatment options for patients who require joint replacement as a result of degenerative joint diseases. We are looking for start-ups that contribute to patient-centric care in endoprosthetics with their innovative solutions.

Periprosthetic infections place special demands on diagnosis and treatment. Heraeus Medical is a reliable and committed partner in all matters related to the management of musculoskeletal infections. Therefore, we are looking for start-ups with solutions for efficient infection management that support the requirements of an interdisciplinary approach.
