SINTX Technologies Awarded Phase II NIH Grant for Silicon Nitride-PEEK 3D Printed Composite Spinal Implants
This represents the fourth NIH grant awarded to SINTX since the Phase I award for this project was received in September of 2021.
- This represents the fourth NIH grant awarded to SINTX since the Phase I award for this project was received in September of 2021.
- Through the development of 3DP SN-PEEK spinal implants, SINTX aims to combine the familiarity and benefits of PEEK with the antibacterial and osteoconductive characteristics of silicon nitride.
- These composite implants will be manufactured with modern, cost-effective 3D printing technologies.
- “Our successful completion of Phase I aims has shown the feasibility and reliability of 3DP SN-PEEK spinal implants.
