Medtronic buys Nanovis’ nano technology for use in spine implants (MedTechDive)
Medtronic will use the technology to develop PEEK interbody spine fusion devices that enhance implant fixation. Sources say that the nanotechnology will be used next-generation spine fusion implants is Osteosync Technology.
Dive Brief:
Medtronic has bought nano surface technology from Nanovis for use in its next-generation spine fusion implants.
Nanovis, which disclosed the deal Tuesday, has developed nanotechnology to improve the speed and consistency of bone growth. The company has its own portfolio of spine devices.
Medtronic will use the technology to develop PEEK interbody spine fusion devices that enhance implant fixation. The technology could help bone grow and fuse with the implant.
Dive Insight:
The Food and Drug Administration cleared Nanovis’ Adaptix PEEK interbody system for use in the U.S. last year. Nanovis created a scaffold with nanotubes and incorporated calcium and phosphate to secure the implant in the spine.
Now, the company is providing its technology for use with Medtronic’s PEEK implant designs, Nanovis CE...
