High-quality products with exquisite design
From its beginnings in Switzerland in 2014, Bioscience Medical has become a renowned expert in everything related to high-end implants and prostheses. Since it was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds and then moving to Rossemaison, this multinational has chosen Tornos as its one and only partner to ensure its production of intramedullary rods, screws and plates for the medical sector.
Eight years ago, Bioscience Medical, a company which is part of Bioscience Group, a Swiss holding company, established itself on the world market for premium implants and prostheses. Highly sophisticated, high-quality products are designed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, with Tornos machines the sole resource for everything related to priority medical intramedullary rods and screws. The commitment to the patient’s health is demonstrated throughout the life cycle of the product, starting from the use of first-choice materials, which are differentiated by their mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics.
“We are a true Brazilian family business, working in the health sector, with a strong base in Switzerland, where we were immediately given an excellent welcome. From the outset, our goal was to develop a new external fixator for arthroplasty. The parent company, Biomecanica, was founded by my parents, and over the years we have had the opportunity to play an active role in all aspects of orthopaedics in Brazil,” says Ana Carolina Pengo. Biomecanica is an orthopaedic implant and prosthesis company with 34 years of history, trust and transparency.
The impetus behind Biomecanica was the dream of helping patients to get better. With this idea in mind, their president, José Roberto Pengo, took a blank sheet of paper and a pencil and turned these into tools to create an external closure. This fixator was the precursor of this company and continues to provide a source of inspiration because it helps us to envisage dreams and projects, that can become reality, and lead to so many success stories. Biomecanica is more than just square metres of machines and equipment in a factory, it is people with a commitment to health. They carry within them the essence of life. Widely recognised because of the conviction they have demonstrated for so many years, they work to rehabilitate both bodies and minds. “We design our products to better serve the orthopaedic market, and our focus is always on improving the quality of life of our user, the patient!” explains Ana Carolina Pengo.
What is probably most special for Bioscience Medical are the rods. The rods as well as their entire range of products are produced in-house. The longest nails are not only turned on the outside but are also subject to boring and tapping operations.
“Biomecanica manufactures more than 9000 different products, mainly because in addition to our implants, we also produce instruments. We do not outsource any type of production. For example, we have developed an innovative new product right here in Switzerland. It is a proximal femoral stem and it is a pioneering product. We also produce plates. These include a special locked plate to inject orthopaedic cement directly into the bone, a really interesting feature! We also use buttons and we lock the plate with pins. We produce everything here in Switzerland,” says Ana Carolina Pengo.
Bioscience Medical had to find a company like Tornos from the start for two main reasons. Firstly, the quality. The quality Tornos provides has never been in any doubt. “From the beginning, we knew it was the best choice we could make if we wanted to produce turned parts. The second reason is that we are in Switzerland and Tornos is our neighbour here,” says Ana Carolina Pengo.
Thanks to this happy collaboration, Bioscience Medical has had the opportunity to make prototypes of some tiny parts, even though daily production is essentially all kinds of screws. Bioscience Medical produces all the screws for Biomecanica, and everything is produced in Rossemaison, both for the premium line and the public health line. We create all types of screws: short screws, longer screws, and locking screws. What is probably most special for Bioscience Medical are the rods. The rods as well as their entire range of products are produced in-house. The longest nails are not only turned on the outside but are also subject to boring and tapping operations.
As a serious and dynamic company, Bioscience Medical is now taking the majority share of business in countries other than Brazil, mainly Switzerland. Thanks to its many years of experience and specific expertise, the company can meet all the challenges of the orthopaedic sector, of course, but also more broadly across the medical sector. It is constantly innovating whilst relying on its solid base, in a happy partnership with Tornos.
