Everyone asks... "What is the origin of the name Rimon?"

The son of co-founder Michael Sefton, came up with the name for our company.

When Michael was describing to his family the stunning and unexpected network of blood vessels that were growing around plastic beads implanted into lab rats, his son exclaimed that it reminded him of the inside of a pomegranate. The association is strengthened in the pomegranate's imagery. It is ancient symbol of re-birth, springtime, fertility and [for us especially] of health and healing.

Rimon is Hebrew for pomegranate.

The pomegranate reminds us of the serendipitous experimental observation that seeded the idea of the "therapeutic polymers" as well as our ultimate goal of developing products that advance human health over the shortest possible timelines.
