Advanced Materials Science™

Porous Titanium | Porous PEEK

Altering the surface of implant materials with porosity has been shown to improve fusion.1-5 Through Advanced Materials Science™ (AMS), Globus Medical develops surface and structural technologies designed to enhance the osseointegration and biomechanical properties of implant materials.6-7

Changing Architecture to Enhance Patient Care.

The breakthrough technologies designed through AMS are rooted in three key principles:

Surface

Developing technologies to enhance osseointegration while increasing stability and resistance to expulsion

Structure icon
Structure

Engineering material structures to mimic the elastic modulus of bone while maintaining durability

Imaging

Designing technologies to improve visualization on a variety of imaging modalities

Porous Titanium

Modulus™

Modulus™ integrates endplate porosity with an optimized body lattice structure, providing a fully porous architecture and favorable environment for bone ingrowth.5 Modulus™ enhances visualization compared to traditional titanium interbody implants in a variety of imaging modalities. Modulus™ is available in a range of sizes and lordotic options for ALIF, XLIF™, TLIF, and cervical.

HEDRON™

HEDRON™ 3D-printed titanium interbody spacers feature a biomimetic porous scaffold designed to promote bone formation onto and through the implant. In a preclinical ovine study, the porous architecture of HEDRON™ showed significantly more bone growth compared to PEEK and titanium implants at 6 weeks postoperative.8
