Zavation Medical Launches NanoPrime Interbody Cage

Zavation Medical Products introduced NanoPrime, a next-generation implant material that combines the mechanical aspects of PEEK with the biological benefits of titanium through advanced titanium ion bond technology.

NanoPrime utilizes a nano-engineering process involving evaporation and ion beam bombardment in a high vacuum environment. This technique allows for bonding the coating and substrate atoms into one surface, minimizing the risk of delamination.

NanoPrime technology will debut with Zavation’s Varisync ALIF interbody system and serve as a platform technology incorporated across the Labyrinth Porous PEEK interbody offering. Zavation believes this will be the first titanium porous PEEK interbody with nanoscale features, truly offering the best attributes of titanium, porosity, and PEEK in one interbody technology.

NanoPrime offers:

• Titanium’s biological compatibility and osteoconductivity
• PEEK’s modulus of elasticity and imaging compatibility
• A surface with nanoscale level features and average surface roughness measurements between 0.104 μm- 0.303 μm-, which may support upregulation of osteoblast-derived angiogenic factors and osteogenic markers
• Micro and macro porosity combined with Labyrinth® Porous PEEK technology

Lane Major, Zavation’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “NanoPrime…represents what we believe to be the first family of porous macro, micro, and nano featured porous PEEK-Ti bonded spinal implants, delivering a level of differentiation that is rare in our industry and central to our commitment to supporting surgeons and the patients they serve.”
