nanoVIS Tiā¢ Surface Technology
Advanced Solutions for Titanium Pedicle Screws
NanovisĀ® is a pioneering surface technology-driven company committed to addressing unmet clinical needs and developing innovative solutions. Their flagship nanoVIS Tiā¢ Surface Technology is making waves in the spine, orthopedic, and dental industries, particularly for its unique nanotechnology designation with the FDA, aimed at enhancing bone-to-implant osseointegration. Other noted benefits include reducing bacterial colonization when introduced to our nano surface.
Common Problems Associated with Titanium Pedicle Screws
Problem: Loosening
The term āaseptic looseningā refers to the loosening of an implant from native bone without infection or trauma complications. Excessive motion where the bone and implant interface causes aseptic loosening. It is one of the most common reasons for implant failure and often results in revision spine surgery. Loosening is enhanced by poor bone quality and pull-out forces created by long fusion constructs (deformity).

Titanium implants enhanced with nanoVIS Tiā¢ Surface Technology accelerate osseointegration between the implant surface and bone. With rapid establishment of bone approximated to the implant substrate, micromotion is reduced, substantially lessening the chance of aseptic loosening.

Problem: Infection
Implants can fail due to a decline in systemic health, bacterial accumulation or trauma. In cases of bacterial colonization, perioperative contamination is a significant risk factor. Infections cause several problems, including inflammation, that jeopardize pedicle screw stability.

Titanium implants enhanced with nanoVIS Tiā¢ Surface Technology catch osteogenic proteins that encourage rapid attachment of mature osteocytes and stem cells. The attached cells are driven to accelerate the calcification of extra cellular matrix, resulting in bone proliferation over the implant surface. Increased occupation of the surface by host bone reduces available surface area for bacterial colonization. Additionally, the accompanying increase in micro vascularization allows the bodyās immune system to respond naturally to potential bacterial threats. Managing wound care and supporting spinal fusion procedures with antibiotics can also prevent implant failure due to infection.

Problem: Implant Longevity
There are many reasons why pedicle screws fail early or long-term, chief among them being poor osseointegration. Proper placement, bone growth, and maintenance of an aseptic environment safeguard the pedicle screw and its longevity in patients.
Our Solution
nanoVIS Tiā¢ Surface Technology improves the already excellent lifespan of titanium implants. Its advanced nanotechnology is a permanent surface proven in orthopedic applications to trigger osseointegration of bone-to-implant, reducing the colonization of bacteria. When a properly placed pedicle screw is correctly supported by rapid bone formation, issues that cause pedicle screws to fail are avoided, increasing longevity.
