Nanovis Spine, LLC receives FDA 510(k) clearance of its novel FortiCoreTM cervical and lumbar interbody fusion device platform
Carmel, Ind. (September 22, 2014) – Nanovis Spine, LLC (Nanovis) announced today that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance of the company’s sterile packed FortiCoreTM interbody fusion devices. Unlike conventional implants comprising PEEK or sprayed titanium coating, FortiCoreTM implants have the benefits of a highly porous titanium scaffold engineered for strong, durable integration with a PEEK core.
Forticore implants are the first of three innovative technology platforms that Nanovis plans to bring to the spine and other orthopedic markets. “Nanovis’ mission is to lead our chosen markets with science-enhanced implants that improve lives. Based on our exiting preclinical data, the FortiCoreTM interbody platform certainly promises to fulfill that mission” said Matt Hedrick, Nanovis’ Chief Executive Officer.
The FortiCoreTM implant platform was developed with the guidance from thought leading surgeons and integrates the BioSyncTM porous scaffold licensed from SMed-TA/TD, LLC an innovative orthopedic implant development company. Members of the surgeon design team have successfully executed encouraging preclinical studies that the team expects to publish at a suitable future date.
The highly porous titanium scaffold in FortiCoreTM implants was designed with optimal interconnected porosity, strength, durability, and imaging properties in mind. Additional information can be found at www.nanovisinc.com.
