BioMedical Enterprises, Inc. (BME) is a medical device company created to address the changing needs in musculoskeletal medicine. Located in San Antonio, Texas, BME was created in 1991 to provide musculoskeletal research service to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and orthopaedic industries. Since inception, BME has applied its understanding of bone healing to the development of minimally invasive orthopaedic instrumentation and implants that elicit a biologic response. BME’s seventeen-year history of musculoskeletal research service has generated the expertise and infrastructure to develop, manufacture and distribute products in the U.S. and international markets.

Today, BME has become the worldwide market leader in orthopaedic shape changing memory metal implant systems with products such as the OSStaple™ and the Step OSStaple™. These unique implants use osteosynthesis through memory to apply fixation forces that can be adjusted in the patient to reduce fractures and stimulate bone healing. The cornerstone of BME’s system is the exclusive OSSforce™ Implant Controller, a patented bipolar electrical heating device that allows for fine control over the compressive forces generated by our shape memory implants.

Our new product lines are changing the shape of orthopaedics. With recent breakthroughs in product development and emerging technologies BME will continue its history of healthcare contribution for years to come.
