Remios makes magnesium implants that degrade from the outside in, forming a hydroxyapatite layer that tells your body to turn the implant into bone. They're the only osteopromotive product approved in the US, a claim the FDA actually permits.

You can't patent magnesium, but you can patent— Yeah, our secret sauce is patented. It's all, it's all protected. One of the coolest things that, that we can say with, with Remios is that it's osteopromotive. And there's no other product in the US, probably in the world, that can claim we're osteopromotive. So as this degrades, it's replaced by bone. It actually promotes bony ingrowth and it degrades from the outside in. Remember, the polymers degrade inside out. This degrades outside in, and as it degrades, there's a thin layer of bioactive hydroxyapatite that forms around the implant. So obviously HA is telling the body, we need to turn this into bone, right? So that's how the FDA said you can make that claim, which is a really, really big deal.
