OSSIS becomes part of Zimmer Biomet
Glenys | OSSIS implant recipient
Glenys was born with congenital dislocation of her hips. This went unnoticed until she started walking. Despite best efforts to rectify her developmental dysplasia, medical experts were unable to treat her condition successfully, and her femoral heads started to collapse and flatten over time.
Roy | OSSIS Implant Recipient
Roy was approaching 60 when he learned of the tumor growing in his pelvis.
“Options for this sort of surgery are limited, OSSIS are producing some of the best implants in the world using innovative technology that can manage these problems.” Michael Flint, Orthopaedic Surgeon.
Locked-in with OSSIS: Locking screws and fixed-angle stability
Through its incorporation of locking screws and fixed-angle stability, customized OSSIS implants provide reliable and superior implant fixation for the treatment of challenging surgical scenarios with poor bone quality. OSSIS implants are guaranteed for long-term stability and durability, highlighting the OSSIS “one implant for life” philosophy.
OSSIS Silver-Coated Implant Research Results: the silver lining against implant-associated infections.
OSSIS implants provide surgeons and patients the best, one-time solution in preventing infections. The silver coating used by OSSIS on its implants helps ensure consistent osseointegration all the while providing the antibacterial properties of silver.
OSSIS Engineers Working Hand-in-Glove with Orthopedic Surgeons
Having the orthopedic surgeon and the engineer working together directly is, without a doubt, the most effective way of ensuring implants are the best fit possible for the patient, and that surgeons and patients are equally satisfied. This has become a hallmark of the OSSIS process, and facilitates greater customer and patient satisfaction.
Orthopedic Surgeon Shaneel Deo Visits Zenith Tecnica
Surgeons visiting the facility printing OSSIS implants is able to gain a greater understanding of the manufacturing process, especially what is done at pre-processing and post-processing, and the work that is done after printing to deliver a superior product for the surgeon and patient.
Behind the Scenes at an OSSIS 3D Titanium Implant Factory.
OSSIS titanium implants can be produced very rapidly, thanks in part to the amazing technology used. Zenith’s technology employs electron beam melting: like a cathode-ray gun, but a lot more powerful. Starting with a bed of titanium powder, orthopedic implants are built up by melting titanium layer by layer.
Custom Orthopedic Implants manufactured and delivered in just 4 weeks.
OSSIS orthopedic implants are custom-made for each patient, and can be designed, produced, and delivered much faster than other custom implants. Find out what surgeons and patients love about OSSIS orthopedic implants.
Custom Implants Are the Way of the Future
At present, custom implants are generally only used for oncology cases, or for unusual bone anatomy. But, smaller orthopedic implant companies like OSSIS produce patient-specific implants and tailored solutions.
All-women Team Perform Implant Surgery
Orthopedic surgery and medical engineering have long been dominated by men. A recent successful surgery performed by an all-women team on a bone cancer patient shows that technology is helping bridge the gender gap.
