What Medprin does

Medprin (short for "Medical Printing") is a Class III implantable medical device company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Guangzhou, China, with European operations through Medprin Biotech GmbH in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The company designs, develops, and manufactures absorbable neurosurgical implants, neurovascular intervention devices, regenerative medicine products, and 3D bioprinting technology. Its core franchise centers on dural repair — ReDura™ (electrospun PLA non-woven patch) and NeoDura™ (synthetic-gelatin composite patch) — supported by Recranio™ PEEK-based patient-specific cranio-maxillofacial implants, StypCel™ oxidized regenerated cellulose hemostat, Immiseal™ hydrogel dural sealant, and DrainiSmooth™ hydrogel-coated ventricular drainage catheters. The company has expanded into adjacent device categories including a full neurovascular intervention suite (EasyMax™ sheaths, Easytork™ guidewires, EasyRace™/EsayRadial™ catheters, Easyport™ distal access catheters, Speedpass™/Speedpass88™ aspiration catheters, Speedflate™ balloon catheters, Easycess™ aspiration pump), GlucoTune™ continuous glucose monitoring for diabetes care, Fursight™ ultrasonic surgical scalpel, and LivPrint™ 3D bioprinting technology.

Medprin's business model is built on direct enterprise sales to hospitals and neurosurgical departments combined with an international distributor network, with marketing concentrated in medical congresses (EANS, MEDICA, DGNC, FIME, Arab Health, HOSPITALAR), academic symposia, peer-reviewed publications, and clinical KOL partnerships. The company serves neurosurgery, cranio-maxillofacial surgery, and increasingly neurovascular intervention and diabetes care segments, with stated reach across 100+ countries and cumulative treatment of approximately 1.7 million patients. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of Class III implantable and interventional devices, with quote-based hospital procurement pricing not publicly disclosed.

The company holds 400+ patent applications and 300+ granted patents globally, ranks Top 7 worldwide in 3D bioprinting patents, and has received CE, ISO 13485, and CFDA certifications across its portfolio. Recent strategic activity includes a $19M funding round from FY Investment in September 2024, opening a new corporate headquarters in 2022, and a substantial 2025 product launch wave across neurovascular, CGM, and surgical energy categories.
