Discovering The Ocean’s Potential
PearlBone™ - improving patient outcomes through advanced bone repair
About Marine Biomedical
Advancing regenerative medicine through marine-derived biomaterial innovation.
Marine Biomedical is an Australian biotech and medical device manufacturing company developing next-generation nacre - a natural biomineralising structure that biomimics human bone.
By combining scientific rigour, sustainable sourcing, and advanced manufacturing, we create solutions that support surgeons and improve patient outcomes.
PearlBone™
Discovering nature’s blueprint for regenerative bone repair.
Nacre and human bone are built from comparable mineral architectures, enabling nacre to naturally support bone regeneration.

UNITING SUSTAINABILITY WITH MEDICAL SCIENCE
Marine Biomedical transforms nacre (a naturally occurring biomineral from Western Australia’s pearling industry) into high-value regenerative materials.
Using proprietary knowledge, we developed a biocompatible product that mimics human trabecular bone.
PRECISION-ENGINEERED BIOMATERIALS
Our research focuses on nacre-derived bone graft technologies designed to support bone regeneration and integration with native bone in complex orthopaedic and trauma settings.
With a commitment to scientific validation and regulatory rigour, Marine Biomedical is developing the next generation of regenerative solutions for surgeons and their patients.
Based on the data presented, PearlBone™ Putty was resorbed and replaced by new immature woven cancellous bone in a manner similar to the comparison predicate device which has been used extensively in clinical procedures over the past 20 years. There were no adverse tissue reactions in either group over the 3-month study period. Resorption of the material, new woven bone formation, and remodelling were comparable for both materials

Turning Marine By product into Medical Innovation.
Turning Marine By product into Medical Innovation.
Marine Biomedical transforms pearling by-products into high-value medical materials through a refined circular process. Oyster shells are sustainably sourced, carefully cleaned, and processed to isolate nacre’s unique regenerative structure. This biomineral is then converted into PearlBone™ — a sterile, clinically engineered scaffold designed to support safe, natural bone healing. This approach not only supports sustainability but also transforms an under-utilised marine resource into a breakthrough biomedical innovation.
Marine Biomedical is proud to repurpose an under-utilised, sustainable marine by-product into a breakthrough medical device designed to advance the next generation of bone substitute materials.
