Orthofix Announces Full Market Launch of Opus Mg Set – a Magnesium-based Settable Bone Void Filler for Orthopedic Procedures

September 21, 2021

LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX), a global medical device company with a spine and orthopedics focus, today announced the full market launch of the Opus^™ Mg Set osteoconductive scaffold, a synthetic magnesium-based bone void filler for orthopedic procedures.

Opus Mg Set provides a procedure-specific solution for orthopedic fracture care and trauma applications by filling non-structural bony voids or gaps during surgery. Available in both a moldable and injectable form, Opus Mg Set provides immediate compressive strength at the surgical site post-implantation. When injected or placed into bony voids or gaps, Opus Mg Set forms a supportive scaffold to help facilitate the natural bone-healing process.

“We are pleased to add the Opus Mg Set osteoconductive scaffold to our comprehensive portfolio of biologic solutions,” said Orthofix President and CEO Jon Serbousek. “Opus Mg Set is yet another example of our commitment to innovative biologic solutions that will meet the needs of our valued surgeon customers and their patients.”

Opus Mg Set is a synthetic magnesium-based solution. The magnesium phosphate crystallizes to give thixotropic properties and high compressive strength. Additionally, magnesium is important in bone healing as it supports proliferation of osteogenic cells, enhances new bone formation, and stimulates proteins for bone regeneration. Preclinical studies on Opus Mg Set have shown greater than 80-percent bone remodeling in 26 weeks.

For those attending the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society annual meeting in Charlotte, N.C., please visit the Orthofix booth #414 to learn more about the Opus Mg Set osteoconductive scaffold.

In addition to the risks described there, factors that could cause or contribute to such differences may include, but are not limited to: the risk that surgeons may be slow to adopt the Opus Mg Set osteoconductive scaffold; the risk that future patient studies or clinical experience and data may indicate that treatment with the Opus Mg Set osteoconductive scaffold does not improve patient outcomes as much as previously believed, or otherwise call into question the benefits of its use to patients, hospitals and surgeons; the risk that the product may not perform as intended and may therefore not achieve commercial success; the risk that competitors may develop superior products or may have a greater market position enabling more successful commercialization; the risk that insurance payers may decline to reimburse healthcare providers for the use of our products.

This list of risks, uncertainties and other factors is not complete. We discuss some of these matters more fully, as well as certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, in reports we file from time-to-time with the SEC, which are available to read at www.sec.gov.
