OSSIO OSSIOfiber Bone Pin Family ossio.io OSSIOfiber is a bio-integrative, non-permanent fixation implant that the company says provides stability and maintains alignment of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and bone grafts during the healing process. Touted as being "stronger than bone," the natural mineral fiber matrix is said to fully incorporate into the patient's native anato- my without adverse biological response within 18 to 24 months. No permanent hardware is left behind, as the bone heals naturally. OSSIOfiber requires no changes to the surgeon's existing techniques, and minimizes the need for additional surgeries, according to the company. Having just received FDA 510(k) market clearance, the company is focusing first on the foot and ankle segment for the treat- ment of forefoot conditions. 8 2 • O U T PA T I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E • M A Y 2 0 1 9
