Created for surgeons— by surgeons.

Imbed Biosciences Inc. is a privately held medical device company emerging as a leader in the development of advanced therapies for the treatment of burns, chronic ulcers, gastro-intestinal defects, and soft-tissue repair. 

The company has a portfolio of products in development based on its patented MicroLyte® Matrix technology that presents bioactive molecules on tissue surfaces to combat local pain and infections. The microscale matrix accelerates cell migration and reduces antibiotic/opioid abuse. 

Featured Products

Microlyte®

The world’s first and only fully-synthetic, antimicrobial, and bioresorbable matrix.

Microbial contamination is a threat to healing of all surgical wounds. Microlyte® Surgical contains bacteria-killing antimicrobial silver. Reduction of bacterial bioburden may reduce microbial colonization and risks of wound infection. This addition of ionic and metallic silver provides rapid, effective, and sustained antimicrobial activity.

Microlyte® Surgical absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a bioresorbable material that intimately contours to the underlying surgical wound. It maintains a physiologically moist microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo, studies indicate that components of the matrix allow cell growth and neovascularization. 1,2,3

Easy to use, conforms to any size or shape. Microlyte® Surgical is as easy as peel and place. It is indicated for virtually all acute, chronic, and traumatic wound types.
