Early clinical results presented by surgeons at the 2016 annual meeting of the North American Spine Society (NASS)1 demonstrate high fusion rates at 6 months and beneficial clinical outcomes, for patients in the majority of cases, when PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced is used for interbody-fusion devices. The implantable high-performance polymer, from Invibio Biomaterial Solutions, uniquely combines PEEK-OPTIMA, the principal PEEK-based biomaterial with over 15 years of proven history in clinical use, and hydroxyapatite (HA), a well-known osteoconductive material that enhances bone apposition, and is fully integrated.
Previous studies by Invibio have highlighted that enhancing bone apposition on all surfaces of an interbody-fusion device may offer better integration and improved potential for spinal fusion.
