Synthes Biomaterials

As advances are made in biomaterial technology, alternatives to conventional surgical treatment become more effective. In an effort to provide better clinical outcomes for patients, we strive to deliver a broad spectrum of treatment choices in trauma, spine and maxillofacial surgery in the field of

• Bone replacement
  e. g. synthetic and allogenic bone substitutes, instruments for facilitated and more effective harvesting of autologous bone
• Bone augmentation
  e. g. vertebroplasty
• Substitution of metal implants
  e. g. resorbable polymers
• Improvement of metal implants
  e. g. antibiotic coatings

Independent of the type of therapy chosen, the treatment goals remain:

• early return to function
• faster bone healing
• less invasive surgery

Whatever technologies it takes to achieve those goals, Synthes Biomaterials will pursue them.
