About Carbon Medical Technologies, Inc. Carbon Medical Technologies, Inc. (CMT) is a privately held company formed in 1994 to design, develop, and manufacture permanent human implantable products utilizing pyrolytic carbon. Carbon is a naturally occurring element in the human body. As a result, pyrolytic carbon is not recognized by the human body as foreign, thus rendering it ideal as a permanent implant material. CMT operates a fully functional pyrolytic carbon coating facility and has developed multiple FDA approved, cleared to market, and CE Marked products. Currently, the pyrolytic carbon coating technology is incorporated into BiomarC implantable tissue markers developed for biopsy site marking, the BiomarC fiducial marker product line for radiation therapy treatment planning, and an injectable bulking agent called Durasphere, which is used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women, and additional indications outside of the US. CMT also provides product development, contract manufacturing, and regulatory consulting for medical device companies. The company is a medical device manufacturer with ISO 13485 certified and cGMP compliant quality systems, maintains three different sterilization method validations, and does final product assembly and packaging in an ISO Class 7 clean room environment.
