VySpine and Oxford Performance Materials (OPM) are teaming up to develop new spinal fusion products.
Under an agreement forged by both companies, VySpine and OPM will jointly create differentiated spine fusion devices using OPM's patented OsteoFab PEKK technology. VySpine designed the OsteoVy PEKK (polyether ketone ketone) lattice, which will be manufactured exclusively by OPM for VySpine.
“OPM is the ideal partner given its long history with the high performing thermoplastic PEKK and its experience with 3D printing of these materials,” said Tom McLeer, CEO of VySpine. “The OsteoVy PEKK polymer lattice structure is uniquely designed to promote bone integration. PEKK, unlike other orthopedic polymers, has demonstrated bony apposition performance, allowing for bone growth onto, and throughout, the OsteoVy PEKK lattice.”
"We are delighted to be making this announcement with VySpine,” said OPM Founder and CEO Scott DeFelice. “OPM has a history of developing industry partnerships with companies dedicated to solutions that push medical device technology forward in ways that improve patient outcomes. VySpine clearly fits that mould.”
VySpine was created through active internal development and the licensing of various proven technologies using innovative materials and designs.
Oxford Performance Materials Inc. was founded in 2000 to commercialize the world’s highest performing thermoplastic, PEKK. OPM’s Materials business has developed a range of proprietary, patented technologies for the synthesis and modification of a range of PAEK polymers that are sold under its OXPEKK brand, including coating technologies for a range of industrial and biomedical applications. The company’s OsteoFab technology is in commercial production in numerous orthopedic implant applications, including cranial, facial, spinal, and sports medicine devices.
