CASE STUDY

Custom Instrumentation

Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) is rich in stem cells. Phase Three helped BMAX Medical develop a purpose-built solution to drive patient outcomes for their regenerative therapies. 

THE PROBLEM


BMAX Medical, a pioneering company specializing in orthopedic regenerative medicine, encountered a formidable obstacle when it came to streamlining the processing and extraction of stem cells from bone marrow aspirate (BMA). The arduous task of using rudimentary tools and centrifugation methods proved to be not only time-consuming and ineffective, but it also yielded less-than-ideal outcomes. These limitations hindered the full therapeutic potential of bone marrow aspirate concentrate, prompting BMAX Medical to seek innovative solutions to revolutionize their operations and amplify the transformative impact of their regenerative treatments. 

THE SOLUTION


In response to BMAX’s challenge, Phase Three Product Development engaged in a transformative collaboration. Starting from a mere napkin sketch, the two companies embarked on an iterative journey to engineer a purpose-built solution. Leveraging Phase Three’s multidisciplinary engineering expertise, the collaboration addressed every aspect of the problem and allowed the Phase Three team to use their skills in software and firmware engineering, mechanical engineering, consumables, electronics, and fluidics. 

KEY ELEMENTS

THE OUTCOMES


The impact of our collaboration extends beyond the realm of regenerative medicine and into the heart of both BMAX Medical and the patients they serve. In a mere four months, our efficient process yielded not just a single product but a portfolio of patentable designs, representing a significant return on investment for investors and relevant stakeholders. The streamlined process we implemented revolutionized BMAX’s operations, translating into cost savings and enhanced productivity. The agility embedded in our methodology meant that efficiency wasn’t just a goal; it was a guarantee. 

THE PARTNERSHIP


Phase Three’s role in the success of BMAX’s custom project positions us as an invaluable partner for organizations seeking innovative solutions in biotech and beyond. Our demonstrated expertise makes Phase Three an ideal collaborator for those aiming to revolutionize their approach to product development.
