Viscus Biologics utilizes an Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) model in combination with our core competencies in the design, development, and manufacture of natural polymer and extracellular matrix biomaterials. The D4 process can be used with an existing Viscus Biologics product platform, or a new product platform can be jointly developed. In addition, a customer’s product platform can be transferred into the appropriate design service phase.
