4WEB Medical’s 3D printed technology utilizes engineering principles such as structural mechanics and adjacent material reaction to produce innovative spine implants that may actively participate in the healing process.
Benefits:
- 4WEB’s hierarchical surface roughness surrounds every strut in the truss implant, providing a scaffold for cell adhesion and osteogenesis throughout the entire fusion column
- Load distribution maximizes subsidence resistance and has potential to stimulate adjacent cellular response for bone in-growth
- Open architecture design allows for bone growth throughout the entire implant construct
- Truss design limits imaging artifact for enhanced radiographic visualization
- Bi-Convex design brings implant closer to adjacent bone
About 4WEB Medical
4WEB Medical is an implant device company founded in 2008 in Frisco, Texas. Thirty years of research in topological dimension theory led to the discovery of a novel geometry, the 4WEB, that can be used as a building block to create high-strength, lightweight web structures. The company leveraged this breakthrough along with cutting-edge 3D printing technology to develop 4WEB Medical’s proprietary truss implant platform. The 4WEB Medical product portfolio currently includes the Cervical Spine Truss System, the ALIF Spine Truss System, the Posterior Spine Truss System, the Lateral Spine Truss System, and the Osteotomy Truss System. 4WEB is actively developing truss implant designs for knee, hip, trauma and patient specific orthopedic procedures. Over 10,000 of 4WEB’s truss implants have been utilized in surgery since 2013. www.4WEBMedical.com.
