Musculoskeletal disorders: Affecting life on a global scale
Musculoskeletal disorders affect joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles.1 These conditions impact 1.7 billion people worldwide and are the leading cause of disability.1,2 Some forms are short-lived, while many are chronic, causing severe pain, limiting mobility, and making everyday activities challenging,1 making access to effective care essential.
Our commitment to innovation and patient care
Since 1998, when we launched an intra-articular formulation for osteoarthritis, we have focused on delivering treatments of controlled origin that make an impactful difference for patients. Our dedication to research and development continues to drive innovative therapies, expanding options for different conditions and joints, as we strive to bring freedom of movement to more patients.
Our dedication to better movement
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving patients’ quality of life, we have spent the past 30 years advancing care in the musculoskeletal field, delivering high quality medical products with a high standard of safety. During this time, TRB has also pioneered the development of medical devices using sodium hyaluronate, combining innovation with trusted expertise as part of our ongoing mission to make a real difference for patients.
Looking ahead: A vision for the future of musculoskeletal health
Despite advances, many people living with musculoskeletal disorders still lack access to effective treatments.³ At TRB, we are committed to continue innovating, aiming to develop disease-modifying therapies that slow progression, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Through our work, we aspire to give more patients the freedom to move, the comfort of relief, and the quality of life they deserve.
