Home      Why SE Asia
 
There are already existing Bone Substitute Material on the market. But none of them produce at a low-cost. Currently, Western orthopedic device firms, get most of their business through Western developed countries. Patients there are willing and able to spend their money on sophisticated orthopedic devices. Most of those Bone Substitute material on the market are too expensive for the low and most middle class Asian consumers. Therefore, Synjectos® will establish local factories in SE Asia to make basic, low-cost versions of those top of the line Western products for the SE Asian market and doing so making it affordable for the low and middle class SE Asian patients. The package concept of Synjectos® also saves resources and avoids excessive garbage in the hospital.

 We understand that our target market needs more than just Bone Substitute (BSM) Material. The need grew out of the special needs of a Bone Cement all in one system, which makes the surgical procedure easier, faster, safer and cheaper. Our target SE Asian surgeons wants to have this new possibility which they consider as a major improvement. There is a need for a low-cost Bone Cement all in one system, which solves patient and surgeon problems especially in developing countries like Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. We don't just sell a BSM, we sell a new concept and a new low-cost surgical procedure.

  The enormous need of BSM is difficult to fulfill in developing countries like Indonesia and Vietnam. Take as example Indonesia, a country with more than 250 million people from which more than a third of its population drives a motor-vehicle (83 million registered motor-vehicles) and roads thick with SUVs and motorbikes, driven by the rising prevalence of traumatic injury through motor vehicle accidents in the emerging markets, and osteoarthritic low energy fractures in members of the aging population. In Indonesia Orthopaedic surgeons treat hundreds of cases of trauma that occur each week. The high number of facilities among motorcyclist reflects the dominance of two-wheelers on the SE Asian country streets.

 
 
Beside traumatic injury through motor, Natural Catastrophes such as earthquake and tsunamis, are causing many thousands injuries from time to time. As example a heavy earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale, struck the Indonesian Island Java in the early morning of May 27, 2006. The earthquake caused 36.299 injured people while the tsunami of 26 December 2004 caused 125.000 injured people. Earthquake and tsunamis casualties were mainly suffering from musculoskeletal injuries, especially fractures.
