Tissuemed is a leading medical device company with a reputation for technical innovation dating back over twenty years. The company has its origins in the development of tissue based therapeutic devices including developing the first tissue heart valve to gain regulatory approval in Europe, subsequently developing "living" vascular grafts and collagen patches. The company famously developed light-activated surgical adhesives for which Tissuemed was the Gold Winner of the Medical Design Excellence Award in 2001.

More recently Tissuemed has focused its considerable scientific expertise on the development of surgical sealants, culminating in Tissuepatch3 a unique surgical film with properties designed specifically to address the demands of surgeons needing to seal leakages of air, blood and other fluids.
