We know that altering the surface and structure of materials with porosity can improve fusion.
Through Advanced Materials Science® (AMS), we develop proprietary surface and structural technologies designed to enhance the osseointegration and biomechanical properties of implant materials.
AMS key principles
The breakthrough technologies designed through Advanced Materials Science are rooted in three key principles:
SURFACE
Developing technologies that enhance osseointegration while increasing stability and resistance to expulsion.
STRUCTURE
Engineering material structures to mimic the elastic modulus of bone while maintaining durability.
IMAGING
Designing technologies that improve visualization on a variety of imaging modalities.
With the recent commercial launch of Cohere TLIF-O and Cohere TLIF-A, NuVasive now offers a porous PEEK implant for posterior, lateral, and cervical spine surgery. The proprietary Porous PEEK technology introduces a first-of-its kind porous architecture designed to promote bone in-growth7,8 while maintaining the biomechanical and imaging properties of PEEK.
Cohere is available in a dynamic range of heights and lordotic options, and Coalesce is available in straight and curved footprints to accommodate both TLIF and PLIF approaches.
