Singapore’s Ministry of Health has added Osteopore Limited’s craniomaxillofacial and oculoplastic implants to its Implant Subsidy List (ISL).
Osteopore is an Australian-Singaporean regenerative medicine company that specializes in 3D-printed biomimetic and bioresorbable implants.
The ISL comprises implants assessed to be safe, clinically, and cost-effective. Subsidies are extended to implants listed on the ISL, to encourage the use of these implants to improve patient outcomes and healthcare resource utilization.
Designed to support natural tissue regeneration, Oesteopore’s 3D-printed implants are made from biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL). They gradually resorb into the body over 18-24 months, providing structural support as they promote bone healing.
The inclusion of Osteopore’s implants on the ISL enables patients in public healthcare facilities to access these advanced solutions at a subsidized cost, making regenerative treatments more affordable for eligible patients. This development expands opportunities for patients to benefit from Osteopore’s 3D printing technology. Incorporating these implants into the ISL is an important milestone in enhancing patient care and optimizing healthcare resources in the public sector.
“The inclusion of our implants to the Implant Subsidy List is a meaningful recognition of Osteopore’s commitment to providing innovative, patient-centered solutions This step by the Ministry of Health enables us to provide more patients with access to affordable, advanced regenerative treatments that facilitate natural recovery processes. We are pleased to contribute to Singapore’s healthcare landscape and look forward to continuing our efforts in delivering impactful solutions that improve patient outcomes and enhance quality of life,” Osteopore CEO, Dr. Yujing Lim.
