An Evolution in Orthopedics
206 Ortho has developed and patented a unique bioresorbable, high strength material to repair broken bones. It is designed to improve patient care, quality of life and eliminate the billions of dollars spent annually on elective surgeries to remove implants. Replacing permanent metal implants has the potential to transform the $8 Billion Trauma and Extremity markets.
Improved Clinical Outcomes
Engineered to provide the ideal support to load bearing bones to enable the natural healing process and reduce pain
Reduce Cost of Treatments
Eliminating additional surgeries and care for chronic pain would save the Healthcare system over $12 Billion annually
Patented Technology
206 Ortho has over 25 patent and patent applications. The technology focuses on high strength, bioresorbable, minimally invasive applications.
A Global Market in Need of Change
For over 100 years the only clinical options surgeons have had are permanent metal implants to provide stability for fractured bones during healing, however, present implants have significant limitations. The metal implants are often painful and patients undergo an elective surgery to remove these permanent implants.
of patients live with pain and discomfort
of "elective" removal surgeries are within 1 year
of patients considered removal surgery as the most negative aspect of treatment
The New Reality in Healthcare
The current market shift from volume-based to outcome-based reimbursement model and access to information is creating considerable opportunities for innovation in a stagnant industry. A high strength resorbable implant will revolutionize this market.
It’s Time to get out of the Iron Age
Designed for the New Model
206 Ortho’s technology was designed with nature in mind to mimic the natural composite structure of bone. The versatility of the material allows it to have the potential to be substituted for metal implants in many orthopedic applications in the $8 Billion Trauma and Extremities market.
Optimal Bone Support
Engineered to provide the ideal support to load bearing bones to enable the natural healing process and reduce pain
Tailored Degradation Rate
Designed to support the bone during healing then is resorbed by the body to get the patient back to their life the first time, eliminating removal surgeries and complications
Versatile Material
The potential to be substituted for metal implants in many orthopedic applications pins, screws, plates, nails, staples and more.
