Products
3D-printed porous polymer interbody implants (cervical and lumbar)
Interbody fusion implants manufactured from high-performance polymer using high-temperature FFF to produce fully interconnected porous architectures (~100–600 µm) intended to promote osseointegration, improve radiographic assessment and provide biomechanical performance closer to cancellous bone.
Titanium and titanium-coated interbody implants
Interbody implants manufactured in titanium or PEEK substrates with titanium porous/plasma-spray coatings to provide increased surface topography, open architectures for graft packing and options for radiographic visibility.
Posterior pedicle screw fixation systems (open and MIS)
Posterior spinal fixation hardware including polyaxial, reduction and percutaneous pedicle screw systems, rods, crosslinks and modular connectors designed for thoracolumbar fixation and compatible with open and minimally invasive techniques.
Sacroiliac joint fusion implants (cannulated, fenestrated screws)
Machined titanium cannulated and fenestrated fully threaded screws with helical fenestrations to permit graft integration and self-harvesting bone channels, with optional static or kinetic stabilization caps; instruments provided for minimally invasive insertion.
Anterior and midline cervical plate systems and screws
Anterior cervical plating solutions with low-profile, pre-lordosed and midline plate options, one-step locking mechanisms and matching screw assemblies in multiple sizes; instrumentation is color-coded and designed for efficient handling.
Laminoplasty implants, spacers and instrumentation
Laminoplasty spacer plates, hinge and hook plates with streamlined instrumentation and color-coded components to assist contouring and assembly for posterior cervical decompression procedures.
