Company Summary

Over 65 million adults in the US suffer from chronic back pain. 1 million of them will undergo spinal fusion surgery. 10% of these patients will need revision because of implant failure. At over $100,000 per surgery, failed implants cause a $10 billion burden on our healthcare system every year. We are on a mission to stop this from happening. Our patented technology processes existing spinal implants to help them perform better and not fail.
