FDA Grants Theradaptive Breakthrough Medical Device Designation
You might have the best protein therapeutic on the market, but it will become nothing more than a dust collector on a shelf if it can’t successfully be delivered to the place in the body that needs it.

The company’s unique approach was inspired by the needs of injured service members returning from combat, who would have delayed amputations weeks or even months after their initial injury.
