Key Points:
- AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --DiFusion Inc, a developer of advanced medical polymers utilizing novel zeolite technology, announced today that the ZFUZEPEEK Composite has been recognized byOrthopedics This Weekas one of the Top Ten Best Spine Technologies for 2018.
- ZFUZE features DiFusion's patented microporous, hydrophilic PEEK (polyetheretherketone) technology, a microporous negatively charged surface that decreases fibrotic encapsulation of the implant while simultaneously increasing osseointegration.
- While Porous metal and porous metal-coated PEEK implants have been used for some time in spine fusion applications, ZFUZE stands out as the first and only bona-fide new biomaterial.
- ZFUZE was considered a viable recipient of this year's Spine Technology Award due to the extensive animal research presented on ZFUZE Composite PEEK.
