Staphyloccocus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were subject bacterial strains in this study. † Lab data may not be representative of the effects with all bacteria or performance when implanted in humans. V Industry funding was provided for the completion of this research study, followed by an independent third-party review of all relevant data for publication. Performance data from animal studies may not be representative of performance in humans. Iii Wang M, Bhardwaj B, Webster T Antibacterial properties of PEKK for orthopedic applications. A Comparative Study of Three Biomaterials in an Ovine Bone Defect Model: A TETRAfuse® PEKK Study. I Cheng, PhD B, Jaffee S, Swink I, Averick, PhD S, Horvath S, Zhukauskas, PhD R et al. TETRAfuse 3D Technology recently won a 2019 MedTech Breakthrough Award for “Best New Technology Solution - Orthopedics” and a 2018 Spine Technology Award from Orthopedics This Week. For more information, please visit References In June 2019, RTI announced a milestone of 5,000 implants of Fortilink ®-C, -TS and -L IBF Systems with TETRAfuse 3D Technology in the United States. We continue to invest in the clinical data for this innovative interbody device material, including our ongoing FORTE study, to demonstrate its preferred characteristics and the positive impact it could have for spine patients.” “We believe there are significant opportunities for TETRAfuse to positively impact fusion, pain reduction and long-term performance. “The data from this hallmark ovine study in The Spine Journal indicate TETRAfuse 3D Technology’s unique potential to improve the effectiveness of spinal fusion procedures,” said Camille Farhat, President and CEO, RTI Surgical. Study results v showed TETRAfuse 3D Technology implants demonstrating bone ingrowth, no radiographic interference, no fibrotic tissue membrane formation, a significant increase in bony apposition over time, and a significantly higher push-out strength compared to standard PEEK. Implants were analyzed post-implantation at 8 and 16 weeks with respect to their osseointegrative capacities using a push-out method, histological staining and various radiographic tests. There is compelling evidence that PEKK offers preferable characteristics to the more conventional interbody materials.” “In the ovine model, histological review of TETRAfuse 3D Technology samples showed deeper implant osseointegration and more notable trabecular bone ingrowth. Cheng, PhD, Director of Research in Neurosurgery at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. “This study provided evidence of the potential advantages of TETRAfuse 3D Technology related to bone growth characteristics without sacrificing structural integrity,” said Dr. TETRAfuse 3D Technology is featured in the growing family of RTI’s Fortilink ® Interbody Fusion Systems and has a nano-rough ii surface with antibacterial characteristics †iii designed to participate in fusion iv without compromising mechanical integrity ii or radiographic visibility ii. However, shortcomings in these materials, such as surface delamination and lack of bone apposition, necessitated further research into additional interbody material constructs, such as TETRAfuse 3D Technology. PEEK, and more recently Ti-coated PEEK, have been used as conventional biomaterial design choices for spinal interbody implants. The study evaluated the in vivo material characteristics of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Titanium-coated PEEK (Ti-coated) and 3D-printed Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), TETRAfuse ® 3D Technology. ![]() (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, today announced the publication of “A Comparative Study of Three Biomaterials in an Ovine Bone Defect Model: A TETRAfuse ® PEKK Study” in The Spine Journal 1. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc.
