IlluminOss Medical reached the benchmark of having placed 10,000 of its patient conforming implants designed for the treatment of geriatric fractures. IlluminOss implants are delivered through a minimally-invasive surgical procedure which provides fracture stability, allowing patients to quickly regain mobilization and return to their activities of daily living.
IlluminOss’ technology involves expanding a balloon-like implant inside a fractured bone by infusing the implant with a light-curing liquid. Blue light is then transmitted to the implant via an optical fiber to convert the liquid into a polymer, creating a strong core within the bone. This stabilizes the fracture. Some patients are able to regain use of their injured limb the day of surgery. If additional fixation is necessary, the strength supplied by the IlluminOss implant allows plates and screws to be fastened into the bone.
