Ellis Developments was incorporated in 1985 to exploit an artificial ligament that we designed and patented. This product, best known as the Leeds-Keio Ligament for the repair of the cruciate ligaments of the knee, is amongst the world's best selling knee replacements.

Since that product was designed, technology has moved on, even the technology of textiles, the subject we specialise in.

Ellis Developments leads particularly in the development of computerised embroidery techniques applied to both engineering and to the manufacture of textile surgical implants for applications such as the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the arteries and for orthopaedics, such as ligament and tendon repair. We participated in the world's first collar bone replacement operation. We are also developers and processors of technology for composite materials.

The company is situated in a rural village, near the historic market town of Southwell, and is classed as a Small or Medium Sized Enterprise (SME).
