AAOS, Las Vegas Nevada - Riverpoint Medical is proud to announce that they have exclusively licensed a proprietary Osteoconductive (OC) Coating Technology from DSM Biomedical.
PORTLAND, Ore., March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Osteoconduction is the ability of bone forming cells to move across a scaffold and replace it with new bone over time. It is well known that many materials commonly used in orthopedic textiles offer low biological activity. By enhancing commonly used materials such as orthopedic fibers and implantable textiles with coatings of widely used Bioceramic materials, the company aspires to create an improved environment for enhanced bone attachment. Osteoconductive coatings are commonly used in orthopedic and dental implants but are not widely available in implantable textiles.
The proprietary OC coating technology created by DSM Biomedical and further developed into a full-scale production line by Riverpoint is a breakthrough in the field of orthopedic space, providing an osteoconductive scaffold at the point of the repair. It offers a revolutionary technology for customers' products that could benefit from a biological solution. The technology has patents granted and pending worldwide, ensuring exclusivity and adding value to Riverpoint Medical's partners.
Doug King, CEO of Riverpoint Medical, stated, "This is a major step for Riverpoint in providing superior solutions and rapidly innovating high-quality medical devices to improve patient outcomes. Our exclusive OC coating technology is a first of its kind in the field of bone fixation and healing."
In conclusion, Riverpoint Medical's Osteoconductive Coating is an additional step towards offering surgeons and patients improved implantable textiles as a new technology for devices that could benefit from a biological solution. In partnership with DSM Biomedical, the Riverpoint Medical Team is proud to be at the forefront of innovation within the global medical device and healthcare sectors. We are proud to be an exhibitor and sponsor at this year's AAOS meeting in Las Vegas and encourage interested parties to visit our booth #6635 or DSM's booth #3032 for additional information.
