Executive Summary
ORTHOVITA's ORTHOCOMP BONE CEMENT 510(K) SUBMISSION for use in non-load bearing applications is scheduled for the second quarter, according to the firm. Speaking at a Jan. 27 session of the Rodman and Renshaw musculoskeletal devices conference in Boston, Senior VP Samuel Nalbone said the firm hopes the bioactive, self-setting bone bonding composite will "replace" polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement due to its superior mechanical properties, biological bone-bonding interface and simple delivery and mixing system.
