Description:

• Advanced Materials Science

  • • Traditional PEEK and titanium implants are limited by the materials from which they are created, often requiring surgeons to make compromises when selecting a spinal implant, sacrificing radiolucency for durability or favorable osteogenic properties for bone-like modulus.

    • Adhering to the three core principles of Advanced Materials Science, surface, structure, and imaging, NuVasive has pioneered design and manufacturing methods that combine the inherent benefits of porosity with the advantageous material properties of PEEK and titanium. Intelligently designed for enhanced osseointegration¹, biomechanical¹, and imaging properties, the Advanced Materials Science portfolio represents the future of porous implant technologies that require no compromise.

    • Surface: Modulus proprietary technology integrates endplate porosity with an optimized body lattice structure providing a fully porous architecture and favorable environment for bone in-growth².

    • Structure: Modulus implants implement a proprietary design optimization methodology, generating a unique internal architecture for a desired effective modulus, that is similar to bone.

    • Imaging: Created with imaging clarity in mind, the proprietary implant design and manufacturing process allow enhanced visualization on a variety of imaging modalities.
