HAPPE Spine
Medical device company developing hydroxyapatite-reinforced porous PEEK biomaterials and monolithic spinal interbody implants. The organization reports a patent-backed materials and manufacturing platform that produces implants with interconnected cancellous porosity, exposed hydroxyapatite on pore surfaces, and bone-like mechanical properties. Activities described on the site include preclinical testing, regulatory submissions (510(k)), manufacturing scale-up and early clinical deployment.
