Massachusetts-based Crescent Innovations is an early-stage medical product company specializing in the research and development of biologically compatible polymers. Their focus is on creating regenerative therapies for chronic and acute pain, with a particular emphasis on osteoarthritis. Their advanced candidate for treating osteoarthritis has the potential to be more effective, less expensive, and require fewer treatments compared to traditional therapies. Additionally, Crescent Innovations has developed an injectable medical device that improves the quality of life for individuals suffering from jaw joint pain. Unlike similar devices that use manufacturing processes involving pathogens, Crescent Innovations' revolutionary process eliminates the use of pathogens, resulting in improved efficacy and reduced manufacturing costs.
