” OSSIOfiber Intelligent Bone Regeneration Technology is a breakthrough in fixation material that provides the first credible solution to the shortcomings of permanent metal hardware, conventional resorbable and allograft implants, and combines unparalleled mechanical strength and natural bone healing in a non-permanent implant. ...
The bio-integrative implant is the only compression screw on the market that combines the necessary strength for bone fixation with the ability to fully integrate into the surrounding anatomy without adverse foreign body reactions and stress shielding, and avoids potential patient discomfort or implant related complications that are often associated with ...
Hawkins has led an accomplished career in materials science and orthopaedic implants during his 35 years at Zimmer Holdings, where he had progressive leadership positions in R&D and product development including vice president, corporate research. ...
Aspect Biosystems, a privately held biotechnology company pioneering the development of bioprinted therapeutics, is pleased to announce a new joint development program with JSR Corporation, a global leader in advanced materials innovation. This collaboration builds on the existing partnership between the two companies and will see the combining of Aspect’s proprietary ...
In vitro testing results indicate that BioPoly material is more “cartilage-friendly” than metallic implant materials, causing significantly less cartilage wear. BioPoly is a unique orthopedic material that is a microcomposite of polyethylene (UHMWPE) and hyaluronic acid. This proprietary combination results in a ...
The goal is to get optimized results with reduced complications and revision rates. It is the first implant in the market that can be adjusted both intra- and postoperatively. ...

“Technological advances to improve the performance of implantable medical devices are taking many forms,” said Prof. Elazer R. ...
The key feature of the Company’s implants is the BioPoly® material, which is a patented combination of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and hyaluronic acid. The material is essentially a “self-lubricated” polymer that is extremely biocompatible with cartilage tissues. After it is implanted, the ...
The Company was granted another international patent for its partial resurfacing implants which protects the innovative implant designs. In addition to patents that cover the design of its implants, several U.S. and international patents have also been granted that address the Company’s unique BioPoly® material. The ...
FORT WAYNE, IN – BioPoly LLC has announced that another U.S. patent has been granted for its partial resurfacing implants which protects the innovative implant designs. The Company’s intellectual property portfolio also consists of patents that address its unique BioPoly® material. This most recent patent further adds to the ...
The Company’s partial resurfacing implants feature its unique BioPoly® material, a patented combination of hyaluronic acid (“Bio”) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (“Poly”). The material behaves like a synthetic cartilage, allowing the implants to replace the damaged cartilage of a ...
FORT WAYNE, IN – BioPoly LLC has announced that another U.S. patent has been granted for its innovative BioPoly® material, which is currently being used to replace damaged cartilage in joints. Where some of the other BioPoly patents address the design of the implants, this patent family focuses on the material itself. This most recent ...
Medical polymer materials for the first time into the line of sight of people in 1949, is the first published the prospect of medical polymer materials, for the first time introduced the use of poly (methyl methacrylate as a person's skull, joint and femoral, using polyamide as the clinical application of surgical suture, since then, usher in rapid development of ...
” Features of the V2 Lateral device include: Unique access port to secure the implant to the inserter, ensuring controlled device placement and allowing in situ delivery of optimal bone graft volume A larger graft chamber to allow greater volume of bone graft material, promoting a more robust fusion column A larger load-bearing surface area to help ...
The shear and bending fatigue tests are used to determine the effect of variations in material, geometry, surface condition, stress, and so forth, on the fatigue resistance of coated metallic materials subjected to direct stress for up to 107 cycles. ...
This specification covers the materials, dimensional tolerances, constructions, and mechanical properties for standard metallic implantable strands and cables. ...
The location within the simulated vertebral bodies and position of the intervertebral body fusion device with respect to the loading axis will be dependent upon the design and manufacturer's recommendation for implant placement. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method specifies the materials and methods for the axial compressive subsidence testing ...
It also provides guidance relative to testing that might be done to qualify lots of acceptable material, based on desired performance properties. Silicone manufacturers supplying material to the medical device industry should readily provide information regarding non-proprietary product ...
Biocompatibility of acetal resins and implant devices made using these materials shall also be determined. ...
