Problem
Traditional spinal fusion implants often exhibit stiffness that does not match that of cancellous bone, potentially leading to stress shielding, reduced bone formation, and pseudoarthrosis. Existing interbody devices may also lack the optimal architecture to promote bone ingrowth and vascularization, hindering successful fusion.
Solution
NanoHive Medical provides a line of 3D-printed titanium interbody implants designed to mimic the structure and properties of cancellous bone, promoting enhanced spinal fusion. Their Soft Titanium® technology utilizes a patented rhombic dodecahedron lattice structure to reduce implant stiffness, approaching that of PEEK, while maintaining load-bearing strength comparable to bone. This unique lattice design creates a porous architecture that encourages bone ingrowth, vascularization, and nutrient transport, facilitating robust and lasting fusion. The implants are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different spinal anatomies and surgical approaches.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes spine surgeons and hospitals seeking advanced interbody fusion solutions that improve patient outcomes by promoting robust bone ingrowth and reducing the risk of pseudoarthrosis.
