About MagnetOs
MagnetOs is a bone graft like no other: thanks to its NeedleGripTM surface technology, it enables bone formation without added cells or growth factors. This surface technology provides traction for our body’s vitally important ‘pro-healing’ immune cells (M2 macrophages). This in turn, unlocks previously untapped potential to stimulate stem cells – and form new bone throughout the graft. The growing body of science behind NeedleGrip is called osteoimmunology. But for surgeons and their patients it means one thing: a more predictable fusion.
