Trauma & fusion

Forging effective new treatments in trauma and fusion

According to estimates around 1.5 million instrumented spinal procedures will be performed in the United States in 2023 and 20241 - and trauma injuries account for 3 million nonfatal injuries per year2. It’s clear that continued innovation is necessary to meet the needs of these millions of patients.

How is Biomedical working to overcome these challenges?

Our biocompatible materials can be fine-tuned and customized based on your unique application needs3. Our goal is to draw on our broad biomaterial portfolio to support the body’s natural healing response and improve patient outcomes in spinal applications, bone graft substitutions, subchondral cysts, bone defects, and trauma procedures, including cerclage and sternum closure applications.

Discover our integrated biomaterial portfolio for trauma & fusion

Our experts draw on a broad biomaterial portfolio to support the body’s natural healing response and potentially improve patient outcomes in spinal, trauma and chondromyxoid fibroma applications. These biocompatible materials can be fine-tuned and customized based on your unique application needs.

Our bioinductive and trimmable bone graft substitutes support bone regeneration in your orthopedic devices – while minimizing the risk of donor-site morbidity and infections for patients. For example, our injectable, biomimetic ceramic putties deliver bone graft material precisely to promote fusion and stimulate osteogenesis.

We also offer arthroscopically injectable bone void fillers; as well as highly durable spacers and load-bearing materials in the form of our biocompatible medical polyurethanes. They help support joints and the spine while reducing adverse reactions in patients during surgery.

Here, our drillable bone void fillers enable accurate and tailored bone healing during orthopedic surgery.

For trauma procedures – including cerclage applications – our Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fiber delivers excellent tensile strength and reliable, secure fixation.

Biomedical innovations that help take on these challenges:

Ulteeva Purity™ fiber.

Ceramic blends with collagen for customizable bone grafts.
