OrthoPediatrics Announces Distribution Agreement with OSSIO, Inc. to Provide Revolutionary Orthopedic Fixation Technology to U.S. Children’s Hospitals Nationwide
After performing their fixation function, OSSIOfiber® implants are gradually replaced by the patient’s newly formed bone during the natural healing process. This technological advance in material science decreases the need for hardware removal surgeries that pediatric patients who initially receive metal implants usually receive.
“Existing fixation technology requires pediatric orthopedic surgeons to consistently remove their patients’ metal implants in a second surgery that adds cost and risk,” said
OSSIOfiber implants are made from a proprietary blend of natural mineral fibers that provide initial fixation strength comparable to traditional metal implants while safely and completely integrating into the patient’s own bone tissue within 18–24 months post-implantation, leaving no hardware behind.
