NanOssTM
is engineered synthetic bone and is the first material that
duplicates the microstructure, composition and performance
of human bone. Utilizing nanotechnology, calcium and phosphate
are manipulated at the molecular level and assembled to
produce materials with unique structural and functional
properties not seen before in other calcium phosphate based
materials.
Structural
NanOss. A 100% dense, highly consistent, crystalline
hydroxyapatite or tricalcium phosphate that has nearly the
strength of stainless steel. Based on Angstrom's unique
ability to combine strength with controlled resorption,
NanOss implants will provide the gold-standard benefits
of autograft with the strength found in metal or composite
devices. Initial applications for the material include suture
anchors, ACL/PCL interference screws and interbody fusion
cages for spinal surgery.
