PhonoGraft is the world’s first 3D-printed, biocompatible graft that could be implanted to repair a damaged eardrum. If the clinical development phases are a success, the PhonoGraft technology could mitigate the pain, drainage, and hearing loss associated with ear drum perforations that affect millions of individuals around the world. It was invented by research teams at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), and Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE). Read more for a video and additional information.
This device is now entering commercial development and for that reason, the entrepreneurial members of the research team launched a startup company, called Beacon Bio. This startup has an exclusive license from Harvard’s Office of Technology Development (OTD) to commercialize the PhonoGraft innovations co-owned by Harvard and Mass General Brigham.

I am absolutely thrilled to have Beacon Bio become a part of the Desktop Health team, and to see these innovations advance so far from their earliest days in the lab. The general support, manufacturing expertise, and regulatory expertise of an established company will be key to bringing the PhonoGraft platform to patients and to developing a regenerative medicine platform around the technology,” said Nicole Black, who is a co-inventor of the PhonoGraft technology and spearheaded its development at Harvard and MEE.
