About Us

At TELA Bio, we’re obsessively focused on creating solutions for gaps in soft-tissue surgical innovation that can improve patient outcomes. To us, this means providing innovative soft-tissue reconstruction solutions that preserve and restore the patient’s own anatomy while minimizing long-term exposure to permanent synthetic materials. We’re committed to delivering our advanced technologies at the best price to help surgeons and institutions provide next-generation soft-tissue repair solutions to more patients.

Leadership – Unmatched Talent Driving Us Forward

Our leadership team, rich in MedTech experience, brings together decades of industry-specific and diverse expertise, driving innovation in soft-tissue repair.
