Renovis Surgical Technologies

Renovis Surgical Technologies offers a broad array of products in total joints, trauma and spine. The company is pioneering the use of Arcam EBM Additive Manufacturing in orthopedics, with applications across the company's product range. Additive Manufacturing is opening up new possibilities across hip, knee, spine and trauma applications by enabli... ng unique product geometries with excellent material properties. The Additive Manufacturing process builds up parts from metal powders, as opposed to traditional manufacturing where parts are created by machining away material. Implants are built from three-dimensional computer models, layer by layer, allowing for very complex part geometries, such as unique porous surface structures optimized for bone in-growth. Furthermore, unlike coatings, these porous structures are integral to the implant body. The company's first product to feature this technology is the Tesera ALIF Cage, for anterior lumbar spinal fusion. It features a porous titanium contact surface, providing an optimum scaffold for bone ingrowth from the vertebral endplates. A solid titanium core provides strength and allows for a large graft chamber, and a locking plate and screws for stand-alone fixation. The Tesera ALIF will be featured at the North American Spine Society annual meeting in New Orleans, from October 9-12, 2013.
