Spin Out Companies

Original spin-out from the Oxford Silk Group was Spinox Ltd in 2001 which in 2004 split into the UK based biomaterials company Oxford Biomaterials Ltd and the German based medical engineering company Spintec Engineering GMBH . Oxford Biomaterials itself co- founded in 2006 the specialist medical silk company Neurotex Ltd and in 2007 OBM co-founded with Suturox Ltd (no web presence yet) another specialist medical silk producer.

Most recently Oxford Biomaterials has created Orthox, a company dedicated to the development of medical devices deisgned to regenerate damaged cartilage and bone tissues.

Additionally the Oxford Silk Group has co-founded the Oxford Bionics Initiative, a programme designed to spearhead research at Oxford University into Nature's relationship with, and exploitation of, her physical environment.
