About us

The Neobiomics team.

Neobiomics was founded in 2016 out of clinical frustration with the lack of safe, high-quality products built specifically for preterm infants.

We do fewer things, but we do them properly. With patients this vulnerable – precision, quality, and restraint are not limitations, they are a license to operate.
