Our products
Moebius Medical is developing the MM-II, a novel bio-lubricant that provides long-term effect by using liposomes as mechanical lubricants. Having completed a 40-subject clinical study, the MM-II shows great promise as the next-generation bio-lubricant for OA joints. Thanks to the special and unique consistency of liposomes, this innovative technology reduces joint damage and deterioration through the use of “biological ball-bearings” that provide mechanical lubrication, ease cartilage surface gliding, prevent further cartilage wear & tear, and eliminate additional joint damage and deterioration.
-
Extended duration of therapeutic effect compared to existing solutions
-
Prevents further cartilage wear & tear
-
Comprised of FDA approved compounds
-
Accelerated regulatory path due to characterization as a medical device (not a drug)
Development Milestones
Moebius Medical has conducted a successful proof-of-concept clinical trial at Hadassah Medical Center.
