July 23, 2024 - Dimension Inx's first commercial product, CMFlex™, was honored in Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards for 2024 in the Small and Mighty category.
"We're deeply honored to be recognized by Fast Company for our pioneering work developing CMFlex," said CEO of Dimension Inx, Caralynn Nowinski Collens, M.D. "This acknowledgment underscores our commitment to advancing the next generation of biomaterial-based therapeutics – where 3D printing, material science, and biology are combined to create scalably manufactured products that restore tissue or organ function in the body and improve patient outcomes."
CMFlex, the first 3D-printed regenerative bone product cleared by the FDA, is a ready-to-use, flexible ceramic graft created for bone reconstruction. It is currently indicated for procedures in the mid to lower face, with expanded indications anticipated. CMFlex offers an innovative, fully synthetic regenerative solution that leverages a distinctive material microstructure and macroarchitecture designed for rapid vascularization and tissue integration to promote bone regeneration and remodeling.
"This groundbreaking innovation is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our incredible team. Their relentless pursuit of excellence has made CMFlex a reality, offering a truly novel product that improves clinician workflow, reduces surgical case time, and restores healthy bone. We're excited by the interest we've already received from surgeons who recognize its innovative design that optimizes both biological function and ease of use," said Ramille Shah, Ph.D., CSO, Head of R&D, and co-founder of Dimension Inx.
