Redefine the Paradigm for Soft Tissue Fixation: Tailor the implant to the patient's bone structure through SupraFusion Technology

Written By Dr. Marina Rubert

Utilizing ultrasonic liquefaction of a resorbable polymer, you can mold the implant to the bone, thereby optimizing fixation.

In our latest advancement, we explore the realm of ultrasonic liquefaction of resorbable polymer to enhance implant fixation. By leveraging patented SupraFusion® Technology and the unique features of SF Push-in Anchors, we intricately shape the implant to conform to the bone's architecture, ensuring a customized fit and optimizing the interface between implant and bone for superior fixation strength.

This technology enables seamless adaptation of the implant to the bone's natural structure, minimizing structural compromise and potential stress points. By distributing the mechanical load evenly by augmenting the trabecular bone, the interface between bone and SF Push-in Anchors experiences minimal localized stress, resulting in a stronger and more enduring fixation compared to traditional retention structures.

Join us as we delve deeper into the scientific intricacies of this groundbreaking methodology, paving the way for improved surgical outcomes and patient care!
