Amedica Adds to Orthobiologics Portfolio

Salt Lake City, Utah-based spinal and reconstructive implant and instrument manufacturer Amedica will distribute two new products as part of its Origin Orthobiologics line: Dynamic Bone and BioDfence DryFlex. Dynamic bone is an expandable allograft bone and BioDfence DryFlex is a resorbable, flexible amniotic membrane. Both products will begin distribution immediately.

Dynamic Bone is customized, compressed, demineralized cancellous bone that expands like a sponge upon hydration. Because it is an osteoconductive material, the product is a good fit for spinal fusion procedures, and can be hydrated with osteoinductive liquids such as bone marrow aspirate, bone morphogenic proteins, or other viable tissue matrix products, according to the company. After placement within the vertebral body, the product continues to expand, filling any open cavity for a custom press-fit that company officials claim will help match each patient’s anatomy, and may improve overall fusion rates.

BioDfence DryFlex is a resorbable adhesion barrier derived from amniotic membrane procured from live, healthy donors during childbirth. It can be used as a physical barrier between the dura and surrounding soft tissue to reduce the potential for post-operative complications due to scar tissue.

Dynamic Bone is provided by Dynamic Surgical Solutions, while BioDfence Dryflex is manufactured by BioDLogics.
