SPINEART REPORTS 1000TH JULIET® TI-LIFE US PROCEDURE
SPINEART today announced that it has completed over 1,000 JULIET Ti-LIFE procedures in the US. Ti-LIFETECHNOLOGY is an enhanced algorithm for additive manufacturing resulting in a porous structure that mimics trabecular bone. Ti-LIFE structure has an average pore diameter and overall porosity similar to trabecular bone, which may enable cell colonization and promote bone in-growth. Ti-LIFE technology allows the production of implants with reduced overall density, optimizing intra and post-operative visualization. Testing has shown Ti-LifeTECHNOLOGY has a lower Modulus of Elasticity when compared to PEEK material, as well as lower risk of subsidence and superior compressive strength vs. PEEK cages. TiLife TECHNOLOGY is expected to be one of the company’s main growth generators in the coming years as it becomes integrated into additional product lines.
