Porous silicon nitride is the first synthetic material to demonstrate spinal fusion outcomes that are similar to the patient’s own bone

“Porous silicon nitride is the first synthetic material to demonstrate spinal fusion outcomes that are similar to the patient’s own bone,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, chairman and CEO of Amedica. “These outcomes are consistent with our investigations of the surface chemistry and nano-topography of silicon nitride. This 24-month data has been submitted to the FDA in support of our application seeking clearance to commercialize our composite cervical interbody fusion device. Achieving clearance for this product is very important to us, as it furthers our mission to improve patient health through the enhancement of clinical outcomes for those patients who utilize our products, which is why we invested the necessary time in data gathering and analysis to ensure that we had it right before FDA submission.”
