FetTech’s MTP technology revolutionizes healing by utilizing naturally derived tissues solutions, combining multiple tissue sources, to provide essential biomolecules that enhance the body’s regenerative capabilities, promoting faster and more effective healing. For the Test Bed, FetTech will be contributing ReyaGel clinical biomaterial, an FDA-approved solution composed of collagen, elastin and growth factors to assist in bioprinting and manufacturing lab-grown tissue and organs.  

“For the Test Bed, a partner such as FetTech is vital in establishing new relationships working towards innovative commercial technologies and products,” describes Joshua Hunsberger, CTO for ReMDO. 

The NSF-PTRME Test Bed offers a collaborative environment for pioneering companies in the regenerative medicine space, providing access to state-of-the-art facilities and expertise. FetTech’s participation provides a continued commitment to innovation and excellence in developing cutting-edge medical solutions by onboarding partners in the industry, academia, and science.

About FetTech, LLC: FetTech is a regenerative medicine company making breakthroughs in regenerative technologies & virology. We developed our revolutionary Multi-Tissue Platform (MTP) technology to bring the power of regenerative medicine to the biggest gaps and unsolved challenges in healthcare today. FDA-cleared MTP products have already supported wound healing in thousands of patients. During our development of these first products, we discovered that MTP in both powder and gel/liquid forms has innate broad-spectrum antiviral activity against enveloped viruses. MTP-based therapies for either regenerative or antiviral applications (or both) can be designed for use alone or in conjunction with other therapies. The future possibilities with MTP are endless, including inhalable, injectable, intravenous, and ophthalmic routes of administration.
