30-years of innovation and we are just getting started!

Our company was founded 30 years ago, in 1992 by Dr Jacques-Philippe Laboureau, the inventor of the intra-articular free fibre artificial ligament, under the name of L.A.R.S., Laboratoire d’Application et de Recherche Scientifique. Our company has been leading the artificial ligaments market for years, and continues to be at the forefront of innovation in this field.

Today under the new name Movmedix®, we are evolving to become a global player in the Sports Medicine market; the strong heritage of our LARSTM , Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System, product range offers a solid base for developing innovative and disruptive solutions. We have been looking at cutting-edge science and technology to better serve surgeons and patients.

Our transformation is still on going, and our website will be evolving over the coming months, so that we can better serve you.

More than 60 scientific publications show good clinical short-, medium- and long-term results. Short term clinical outcomes of LARSTM ligaments are comparable with autografts.
