Changing architecture. Changing outcomes.
We know that altering the surface and structure of materials with porosity can improve fusion.1-4 Through Advanced Materials Science™ (AMS), we develop proprietary surface and structural technologies designed to enhance the osseointegration and biomechanical properties of implant materials.5-6
AMS key principles
The breakthrough technologies designed through Advanced Materials Science are rooted in three key principles:
Porous PEEK™
Cohere® and Coalesce™
The proprietary Porous PEEK technology introduces a first-of-its kind porous architecture designed to promote bone in-growth7,8 while maintaining the biomechanical and imaging properties of PEEK in general. The only Porous PEEK interbody implants available on the market, Cohere is available in a dynamic range of heights for use in the cervical spine, and Coalesce is available in straight and curved footprints to accommodate both TLIF and PLIF approaches.
Modulus® titanium
Modulus
The market disrupting design and manufacturing process of Modulus integrates endplate porosity with an optimized body lattice structure, providing a fully porous architecture and favorable environment for bone in-growth7 while enhancing visualization compared to traditional Ti interbody implants in a variety of imaging modalities. Modulus will be available in a number of footprints beginning with XLIF®.
