every safety guideline while still pushing the envelope by creating healthcare solutions that are effective. To
understand how this happens let us take a look at some of our hero products from different divisions and see for
ourselves just how much effort goes into each and every single one of our products.

Beginning with a medical device that is at the forefront of cardiovascular intervention, we have the BioMime. The
BioMime is a Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System with an ultra-thin (65 µm) strut thickness. It is a
next-generation SES with a novel & hybrid design consisting of both closed and open cells. It is made from a
Biodegradable Polymer with 2µm low thickness which helps facilitate faster healing. The anatomy of a strut in
medical devices such as BioMime is a crucial factor in determining how well it can help patients. The strut width
variability of the BioMime allows for optimal radial strength & conformability. The BioMime is an assured step
towards biomimicry.

With the help of world-renowned surgeons and a large range of orthopedic devices, Meril Life Sciences has
emerged as a frontrunner in the field of orthopedics. The opulent knee is a knee replacement device that
revolutionised this industry. For more than 50 years now, cobalt chrome was used to create knee implants.
However, to stimulate better performance and patient outcomes, we at Meril Life Sciences made use of a
Titanium niobium nitride (TiNbN) coating which is 40% less likely to be worn down than regular cobalt chrome
implants. The opulent knee is twice as strong as similar implants in the category; the most biocompatible and
non-allergic surface material out there and 8 times harder. With so many positive points working in its favour, the
opulent knee system has earned its place as the ideal implant for young and old patients who want to enjoy
active, long-term and high-quality performance and provide them with a lasting knee pain remedy.

Meril endosurgery is a one-stop solution for surgeons, providing them with an extensive product portfolio to rely
on. Any form of minimally invasive surgery in which a small video endoscope is inserted into the body can be
classified as endosurgery. Commonly performed endosurgery procedures include appendectomies, bowel
resections, gallbladder surgeries, hernia repairs, splenectomies, and cancer staging operations. Endosurgery
does not require a major incision. Small incisions are made in the body through which a flexible endoscope can
be inserted allowing internal imaging to be projected. This allows for a robotic procedure which eliminates
unwanted motion and improves surgical dexterity. This method allows remote surgery to be performed by skilled
surgeons who approach each operation with precision and focus. Meril endosurgery product Mitsu, is a mid-term
absorbable braided and coated synthetic suture made of polyglactin. The Mitsu is an absorbable surgical suture
with excellent advantages such as gentle knot repositioning, excellent knot security, smooth knot rundown and
excellent pliable material that allows for easy handling. Especially Mitsu AB which helps in Antibacterial wound
closure and helps in preventing surgical site infection which is very important to take care after any surgery as
patients wants to escape and avoid such situation. As a surgical suture, Mitsu degrades by hydrolysis and
assures predictable and reliable absorption. It is a testament to just how essential and beneficial surgical sutures
can be.

Medical devices are essential for safe and effective prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of illness
and disease. The achievement of health-related development goals on a global scale are dependent upon proper
manufacturing, regulation, planning, management and use of medical devices. These medical devices should be
safe, high quality and compatible with the settings in which they are used. Our products are a working testament
to our goal of striving to be trendsetters in new product introductions and innovations. From educating healthcare
professionals through Meril Academy to keeping up with the latest advances in medicine, Meril Life Sciences does
a lot more than manufacture cutting-edge medical products. Our products are a testament to what we have
accomplished so far and how we hope to continue doing so in the future.
