We are trying to realize a world where anyone at any location can access to optimum medical treatment

Our CEO, Dr. Hagiwara, has been engaged in clinical practice and research as an orthopedic surgeon for nearly 30 years, and has seen many issues that cannot be solved with existing technologies.

The company name "Anylom" is based on the thoughts of realizing a world where anyone at any location can receive high quality medical treatment. We are committed to the development of our products so that patients can recieve better treatment as soon as possible.

Our Business

Anylom is developing custom-made bone plate system, plate design software and plates designed with the software, with short lead times so that they can be used in fracture surgery to provide personalized treatment for each patient.

In fracture surgery, metal plates are used to fix the broken bones. Anatomical bone plates, which are designed to fit "standard bones", are mainly used in the current fracutre surgery. However, the plate may not fit the bone depending on the fracture site since the shape of each patient's bone is different and the surgeon may need to bend the plates during surgery.

Custom-made bone plates designed to fit each patient's bone shape have been developed and commercialized. However, pacient-specific plate design are known to require time-consuming communication between physicians and engineers. This bottleneck has prevented the commercialization of custom-made bone plates for use in fracture surgery as the waiting period of fracture surgery is short.

Anylom aims to provide software that allows physicians to design custom-made bone plates in a simple and easy-to-use manner, significantly reducing the time required to design a plate to about 10 minutes. Our goal is to bring custom-made bone plates to the medical field of bone fracture surgery.
