Naturin Viscofan

Naturin Viscofan is the historical name of the Weinheim, Germany-based Viscofan operating company now registered as Viscofan DE GmbH, part of the Viscofan group. The business is best known for large-scale production of collagen, cellulose, fibrous, and plastic casings for meat products, but it also has a healthcare-facing biomaterials activity through Viscofan BioEngineering. That unit develops and manufactures medical-grade collagen materials, including scaffolds, membranes, matrices, coatings, and bulk collagen for cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine applications. The company appears to be a commercial-stage manufacturing and biomaterials supplier rather than a drug developer with a traditional therapeutic pipeline. Its healthcare relevance is therefore primarily in biomedical collagen products and enabling materials used from research through clinical development and manufacturing.
