Global Bone Glue Market: Key Developments
- In November 2021, a report was published in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, A multidisciplinary journal, on gluing living bone using a biomimetic bioadhesive: from initial cut to final healing, which reported that the OsStic adhesive harmonizes with the local bone biology in the murine bone core model with no signs of inflammation or adverse tissue effects throughout the study. The sticky layer is replaced by bone multicellular units throughout the healing of the sliced bone core surfaces, and by 42 days, the cortical and cancellous compartments of the bone have recovered up to 50% and 70% of their original quality and quantity.
- For instance, in December 2021, icotec ag, a medical device manufacturer of Carbon/PEEK implants company, strategically corporates with G-21, medical and pharmaceutical sector company, to distribute their bone cements in conjunction with icotec's VADER Pedicle Screw System in the U.S. The VADER Pedicle System is intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic or lumbar spine in whom life expectance, prior to oncological treatment, is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.
- For instance, in December 2020, Smith & Nephew, a multinational medical equipment manufacturing company, started a field action to remove one batch of Versabond AB 40 Grams Formulation 2 due to possible exposure to heat and humidity, Smith & Nephew started a field action to remove one batch of Versabond AB 40 Grams Formulation. When mixed, the impacted lot was said to have an unusually sand-like, flaky, or gritty consistency. VERSABOND is a medium viscosity bone cement which can be used for hip, knee, and shoulder implant fixation with superior handling and mechanical properties.
