SubsidieMeestersSmartFuse: Game-changer to create a new gold-standard for spinal fusion surgery with wirelessly technology
The project aims to enhance spinal fusion surgery outcomes by integrating a wireless bio-electrical stimulation system into implants to accelerate bone growth and provide real-time healing feedback.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Spinal surgery has a significant failure rate of 18%, leading to devastating complications for patients.
Technology Overview
With the knowledge that bone remodels naturally using electric signals, we are transferring cutting-edge neuromodulation technology into the orthopedic field.
Product Development
We incorporate our proprietary, wirelessly powered bio-electrical stimulation system into standard orthopedic implants. Our first product, SmartFuse, addresses the issues of non-union and bone overgrowth in spinal fusion surgery by harnessing the local delivery of electrical stimulation to:
- Accelerate bone growth
- Control the formation of new bone
Features of SmartFuse
In addition to accelerating and controlling bone growth, SmartFuse can measure the quantity and quality of new bone. This capability enables real-time feedback on the progress of healing to the physician and other caregivers.
Future Plans
Through EIC funding, we will complete a clinical pilot trial and prepare a pivotal study demonstrating efficiency and safety to achieve the necessary market approvals.
