Clinical Problem

250 million people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis, a bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture resulting in an increased fracture risk.

The presence of prevalent fractures doubles the risk for sustaining another fractures within the next 12 months.

For those patients at very high, imminent fracture risk, bone specialists are lacking a fast-acting treatment to locally strengthen fragile bones to prevent devastating fractures.

At flowbone, we address this treatment gap.

Our Solution

flowbone provides a new generation of injectable, "bone-seeding" gel for a quick and subtle, local strengthening of fragile bones.

Unique Mode of Action

Once in place, the gel initiates the deposition of the body's own minerals and rapidly turns into strong, viable bone

Compliance with Bone Biology

No foreign material, no interference with bone vascularization and biomechanics

Minimal Invasiveness

The gel is injected with a cannula into bone regions at hight risk of fracture
