Skulle Implants was established in 2011 to commercialize innovations and research findings concerning bioactive glasses and the successful use of fiber-reinforced composites in dentistry. Fundamental research of bioactive glasses was carried out at the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University in Finland already in the 1980s. Following the intensive composite material research at the Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku in the late 1990s, the introduction of dental fiber-reinforced composites for clinical and commercial use created a solid foundation for a completely new type of bone surgery implants based on the GLACE™ technology. The technology and unique production of implants combine the benefits of durable and imaging-compatible fiber-reinforced composites and the bone forming capability of bioactive glasses. As a result, medical implantology has shifted from metal-containing implants to novel high-tech composite implants of individual anatomic design and contour. GLACE™ – Good to the bone The active innovation and patenting policy resulted in the establishment of Skulle Implants. Globally, it is the only Class III (European Medical Device Regulation) medical device producing company that focuses on the production of unique custom-made bioactive glass fiber composite implants for bone repair and replacement. In 2014, the company launched its new production facilities in Turku and received accreditation for starting the production of custom-made implants. Skulle Implants aims to expand the clinical indications of GLACE™ platform technology in close collaboration with clinical experts and material scientists.
