A simple, implantable sleeve to quickly secure stable screw fixation in challenging scenarios.
Ogmend® enables treatment in a wide variety of patients
typically considered high-risk and complex.
High-risk/complex scenarios make it difficult to safely achieve immediate and long-term screw stability due to compromised screw-bone interfaces.
A compromised screw-bone interface offers limited holding strength and is highly susceptible to failure from peak stress overload and the gross mismatch of materials when cyclically loaded over time.
Ogmend® overcomes fixation challenges in 3 ways:
Reduces/distributes focal stresses to enhance the interface and mitigate overload.
Facilitates rapid, robust bone ingrowth
to increase strength over time.
Increase surface area contact to immediately improve purchase.
Bone Stress from
Fixation Challenges
Fixation challenges may arise over time as movement of the bone creates focal stress between the bone and pedicle screw. This often results in bone resorption that can lead to complications including revision surgery.
Ogmend® alleviates this fixation challenge by securing the screw-bone interface to reduce the focal stresses that arise between the bone and screw.
