Microsurgical Innovations, Inc. is a biotech company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. We started as a spin-out of the University of Utah. We develop biodegradable and drug-eluting technologies that improve outcomes in reconstructive surgery, focused on two areas: peripheral nerve regeneration and vascular repair.
We have spoken with more than 75 surgeons to make sure our devices answer real needs in the operating room. Our work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health through the SBIR and STTR programs.
