Why OSSIOfiber®?

Traditional metal implants have not changed significantly in over a century. Even after return to function, many people experience ongoing discomfort from permanent metal implants, like painful swelling and new sensitivity to cold temperatures. They can leave surrounding bone weaker than healthy bones and prone to new injury. 1in4 people have 'permanent' metal hardware removed in a second operation. This can require an average of 10 additional sick leave days and still lead to new complications like infections or wound healing issues, lack of pain relief or improvement in function.  OSSIOfiber® implants provide strong and bio-integrative fixation to restore, regrow, and renew bone avoiding the risks and costs associated with permanent metal hardware.

 

  

Why use Bio-Integrative Implants?

Bio-Integrative OSSIOfiber® implants provide strong, secure fixation with 1.5x strength of cortical bone, enable bone attachment and in-growth during the healing process, and gradually integrate into the surrounding anatomy within 78 – 104 weeks – leaving no permanent hardware behind.

  • Avoid the risks and costs associated with permanent metal hardware

  • Doesn’t cause the adverse inflammation commonly seen with resorbable implants

  • Use existing reimbursement and surgical techniques

  • Promotes a more natural healing environment

  • In a recent clinical study, 100% of patients were satisfied and would recommend OSSIOfiber® to others
