If you regularly follow our blog, you’re aware that we’re a big proponent of OSSIO Ltd. and their OSSIOfiber technology. We’ve written about them in the past and why we think the technology could revolutionize orthopedic surgery going forward, and recently they reached out to see if we’d share some reasons why we choose OSSIOfiber for the right patient in our clinic.
There are three main reasons why we choose OSSIOfiber as a biointegrative bone regeneration device instead of traditional surgical hardware for the right patient. Check out the video or read the transcription below, and we sure to check out some of the other pieces we’ve written about OSSIOfiber, including how Dr. Silverman performed the first successful surgery in the state of Minnesota using the technology!
“I’ve been asked to explain why I chose OSSIO for my patient today. Well there are three reasons. The first – It integrates into bone. Bone grows through it, around it. The second – It get stronger as time goes on. It’s inclined to win the race, while screws can get weaker. Finally, I never have to take the hardware out. Those are the three reasons why I chose OSSIO today.
OSSIOfiber promotes healthy bone growth in the area with bioabsorbable technology that allows the structure to develop its own stability instead of relying on screws and other hardware that will be in a person’s foot for life. Hardware removal is a very difficult procedure that can oftentimes do more harm than good unless performed by an expert surgeon, so taking that out of the equation and allowing the patient to make a full recovery without permanent fixation devices is a gamechanger.
