Executive Summary
Carlsbad, California-based spinal implant device and surgical instrument developer Alphatec Spine has secured exclusive US distribution rights to certain spine products manufactured from OsteoBiologics' PolyGraft material. The products will be for use in bone void filling applications in the spine, specifically in the cervical and lumbar regions. The agreement is expected to open up a significant market for OsteoBiologics' Polygraft, as the spine represents the most significant market opportunity for bone void filling products, claims the San Antonio, Texas company. Polygraft is a polymeric, resorbable material that acts as a scaffold while the natural tissue heals.
