Business PlanHCM-Medical Business
HCM Medical: a contract manufacturing company
HCM Medical, also known as Hightech Contract Manufacturing Medical, is a
contract manufacturing organization that develops and manufactures products and implements technologies.
The purpose of the production is to develop and manufacture unique and
high-tech medical products for various medical applications which include
cardiovascular, urological, dermatological, dental, ophthalmological and orthopedic applications.
At the same time, HCM Medical will put an emphasis on the need for tissue products required in tumor surgery, development and production of tumor
vaccines and the development of drug-release products for local treatment by implantation.

Business PlanHCM-Medical Technologies
HCM Technologies
Together with customers HCM Medical will specialize in developing and producing
products that have a biological origin; either the processing of human and animal tissues to new implants as well the purification of biological materials such
as collagen for the production of high quality implants.
Technologies performed by HCM Medical, such as: Supercritical CO2 for the purpose of removal of cells and
other unwanted materials from tissues.
Freeze-drying for the purpose of production of tissue constructs Continuous improvement of existing technologies and
introduction of new techniques: Electro-spinning, 3D printing, etc. Aseptic preparations; both formulating and filling under controlled
aseptic conditions.

Conclusion
Challenges:
Investment (will we find the required amount?)
Customers (will customers sign contracts?)
Successfactors and Pitfalls:
Network (former contacts bring equipment, contracts, new businesses, employees etc.)
Leadtime of investment process (6-10 months)
Decision on Investorselection (conditions of investors)
Dos and Donts:
Write a readable Business Plan
Invest in the necessary (no unnecessary decoration)
Select appropriate facility (dedicated to the business and logistics)

Products and TechnologiesSupercritical CO 2 as virus inactivation technique for bone; a mild way of processing. Bokhorst A.G 1, Al B2, Valster H3 1De Oude Gracht Groep 2 Sanquin Blood Supply 3 EMCM b.v.
Microbiological safety of bone allografts remains a significant concern. Many of the current processing methods to reduce the risk of transmission alter the structure and characteristics of bone. The Supercritical CO2 fluid technique is used in tissue banking as an alternative sterilization technique because of its cleaning and bactericidal capacities, while maintaining the natural structure of the tissue. Aim of this study is to investigate the capacity of this ScCO2 processing method for bone to inactive viruses as well Materials & Method Untreated cortical and cancellous bone particles ( 5 samples each) were spiked with different viruses representing the critical virus groups, and processed with the following steps :: ScCO2 extraction of debris, H2O2 30% washing step and NaOH 2M for prion inactivation. After each step the viral removing or inactivating capacity was determined. Results

Minimal overall virus reduction of the SCCO2, H2O2,and NaOH of human bone.
Conclusion:
The processing of human bone with scCO2, H2O2 and Na OH results in a theoretical virus reduction of minimum > 8,6.log 10 A processing method based on ScCO2 completely inactive viruses, which makes it a valuable alternative to other more aggressive inactivation techniques.

Products and Technologies
The supercritical processSterilization
Benefits of Using Supercritical CO2 Sterilization Low temperature and moderate pressure
- Ideal for sensitive organic materials or highly reactive materials Non-toxic (1)
- Compatible with allografts as well as xenografts tissue Able to penetrate to the interior of porous materials
- Reaches pathogens located within the cortex Good solvent capacity for lipids (1)
- Ideal lipid extractor- Improved tissue cleaning
Additive in sublethal dose (25-100 ppm) + scCO2 = synergistic effect and SAL6sterilization
Allows for Terminal sterilization (sterilization in final packaging)
