GalaFLEX by BD is a medical equipment manufacturer focused on developing, producing, and commercializing solutions for unmet needs in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Its GalaFLEX Scaffold Collection is built from a proprietary biomaterial called poly-4-hydroxybutyrate, providing a strong, pliable, biocompatible, monofilament scaffold intended to support healing. The material degrades in the body primarily through hydrolysis and is eliminated via the Krebs Cycle as carbon dioxide and water, while maintaining two to four times the strength of native tissue. The scaffold is designed for soft tissue support to repair and reinforce deficiencies in plastic and reconstructive procedures, and it is available as GalaFLEX LITE and in 3-D shapes and sizes. Based in Warwick, Rhode Island, the company operates with a small workforce within the medical devices sector, targeting surgeons and facilities performing reconstructive surgeries.
