PBC Biomed Poster Presentation at ESB 2025

Congratulations to Senior R&D Engineer Antzela Tzagiollari on her poster presentation at the ESB 2025 event yesterday, highlighting her team’s research on OsStic® as a promising next-generation biomaterial.

Their findings show that OsStic® uniquely combines bone adhesion, mechanical strength, and prolonged antibiotic delivery. While incorporating vancomycin reduced its strength, OsStic® still demonstrated clinically acceptable performance. Notably, compared to OsteoSet® and Coral, OsStic® delivered a significantly more sustained and controlled vancomycin release, remaining above MIC levels for up to 21 days.

This work was carried out in collaboration with Technological University of the Shannon student Genna Kearney, as part of her final year project
