Biomedical Textile Components for Bone Grafting and Fusion

Secant Medical Offers Medical Fabric Solutions for the Most Complex Orthopedic Challenges

The complexities of bone grafting and fusion have led to the development of biomaterial technologies to treat a broad range of orthopedic conditions. Secant Medical is an expert in merging advanced biomaterials with biomedical textile technologies to offer alternative orthopedic medical device design options.

Implantable Fabrics Support Bone Grafting and Fusion

Biomedical textile structures offer the potential for design possibilities as a critical component in bone grafting to support the repair of bones fractures, to help fusion between vertebre, or provide structural support for fractures of the spine. The benefit of using textile components over other biomaterials is the intrinsic ability of the biomedical textile structure to form new tissue using the body's cellular response to the ordered fabric architecture. With the future of orthobiologics focused on complete biologic repairs and regenerative techniques, using fabric-based biomaterials offers innovative advantages unmatched by existing invasive materials.

Orthopedic Biomaterial-Engineered Textile Structures

Orthopedic biomaterial textile structures can be formed via the major textile engineering technologies: weaving, knitting, and braiding. Each of these fabric-forming processes produces geometries with unique properties that a design engineer can leverage in order to facilitate a certain set of physical and mechanical properties required for the specific device form and function.

Biomedical Textiles and Fabrics in Orthopedics Can Yield Important Benefits for Device Designers:

• Improved outcomes and rapid healing induced by fabric-based scaffolds from fibrous materials
• Ability to engineer tissue integration through the combination of resorbable and hybrid biomaterials
• Optimal tissue support, reduced permanent mass and design flexibility to mimic anatomical structures
