Additive Surgical

🏭 Manufacturing of implantable medical devices is highly regulated. 📐 Additive Surgical as a Spine Implant manufacturer, must comply to a Quality Management System (QMS), that includes requirements for risk management, documentation, process control, and preventative and corrective actions. ISO 13485 is a standard for establishing a QMS. 🖨️ Our Porossity™ spine implants must then be audited and approved in different jurisdictions through that jurisdictions relevant Regulatory / Conformity Assessment pathways. ❓❓❓ In very simple terms, a QMS can be seen as manufacturing site specific. Whereas a Conformity Assesment is Product / Intended Use specific. ❓❓❓ 👀 Check out this video of some of our (worst case geometry) Porossity™ Lateral cage samples we have printed as part of our validation testing for our implant range. 🔥Biomimetic Lattice structures🔥 #Australianmade #Australianmanufacturing #QMS #regulatory #manufacturing #spine #3Dprinting

💡Additive Manufacturing has precipitated a paradigm shift in Medical Device implant manufacturing. 🚀 We now have the ability to create intricate and complex geometries into implantable medical devices, where the literature overwhelmingly supports the use of 3D printed titanium spine implants compared to PEEK or machined titanium implants. ❓Why are so many of the 3D Printed spine implants on the market consist of simple, orderly, repeating isometric pattern or basic stochastic lattices❓Bone doesn’t look or grow like this, (simple and orderly). 🙄 In short, because it’s easy to design and manufacture 🤷🏽♂️ Additive Surgical has in-sourced its entire supply chain to control our processes from Raw Powder to finished, sterile product. We proudly control our own value chain. Additive Surgical has spent years perfecting its design philosophy, proprietary lattice structures, and manufacturability. In every one of our implants we have ✅ Multiple Biomimetic Lattices ✅ Exoskeleton facilitating load distribution ✅ Fully communicating Porosity ✅ Modulus of Elasticiy lower than PEEK ✅ Function Specific Biomimetic Lattices Superior Interbody Technology #biomimetic #organic #lattice #3dprinting #differentiated #australianmade #Aussiemedtech

Our CEO, Gibran Maher attended the NASS meeting in Chicago. 🔬There are quite a few 3D printed implantable technologies on the market in the USA, however none have a focus on biomimicery to address some of the clinical challenges of spine surgery. 👏🏽 Years of R&D finally being commercialised.

🤩 Introducting another biomimetic lattice structure that Additive Surgical have meticulously mastered. 🧪 Our R&D team had a brief for this lattice which included some of the following objectives. 💡Very high surface area per cm3 💡Micro porosity of 20-30 µm 💡Macro porosity of 250 - 400 µm 💡Elasticity Modulus below 1 GPa 💡Highly reproducible 💪🏽This lattice is now developed and features as one of the key lattices in our PorOssity™ range of spine implants. The Additive Surgical range of implants feature specific, deliberate and differentiated lattice structures incorporated in the one implant, designed to address some of the clinical challenges in spinal fusion operations. 🧐Could this lattice be called ‘VELCRO for the end plates?’ #engineering #lattice #spine #3Dprinting #advancedmanufacturung #australianmade #PorOssity #launch #medtech

📢 🇬🇧Call Out to leading Spine Surgeons in the United Kingdom that embrace 3D Printed Interbody cages 🇬🇧📢 👔 Additive Surgical will be in the United Kingdom from the 7th to 15th October. 🔬We have invested years developing advanced 3DP biomimetic lattice technology. We have perfected manufacturability of this technology. 👏 Let’s work together to launch a range of ‘off the shelf’ interbody devices that are tailored to meet YOUR 🫵 needs. 📱 Please reach out to get some time together. We will also be at NASS and Eurospine preceding the 7th to 15th October. Additive Surgical is working very closely with its UK partner, Osteotec to bring a clinician centric design philosophy to the UK market in early 2025. #3dprinting #biomimetic #innovation #Designsurgeon #spinesurgeon Matt Woods | Anthony McClellan | Lee Burchell | Dean Stockwell

💡This is one of the lattice structures that we have spent years perfecting. 👩🏻💻There are a large number of variables in generating such a lattice. Significant research was dedicated to achieving some of our goals. ➡️ Ideal Macro, Micro and Nano porosity features for osseointegration ➡️ Refined mechanical properties balancing mechanical strength with a very low modulus of elasticity ➡️ Structual cohesion allowing for manufacturability ➡️ Integration with other lattice structures in the one implant. 🔬This lattice is a core lattice structure in our new range of spinal implants. The PorOssity™ range of interbody fusion devices has multiple lattices in the one implant, developed to help address some of the clinical challenges in spinal fusion procedures. #australianmade #austraianmanufacturing #spine #3Dprinting #latticetech #medtechu

Additive Surgical will be attending EUROSPINE, the Spine Society of Europe this year in Vienna, 2nd to 4th October. Please reach out to our CEO, Gibran Maher to organise a meeting / coffee / chat. 🔬We are proud to have committed years of Research and Development into our proprietary lattice technology for our spinal implants. #3dprinting #lattice #Spine #hustle #patientfirst #medtech #australianmade

⭐️ Manufacturability ⭐️ 🙌🏽 Additive Surgical has taken a biomimetic focused approach to developing its world class range of spine implants. 🧐 The dedicated team spent years in R&D utilising computational analysis, advanced software, Finite Element Analysis, and many more techniques to invent the best possible biomimetic lattice structures designed to address some of the clinical challenges of spine surgery. 🔬We then turn toward manufacturability. Working tirelessly to ensure that 3D printing technology is capable to manufacturing these advanced lattices. ⁉️Many other med tech companies do it the other way around. Use a standard, repeating isometric lattice that is easy to print on titanium 3D printers. Then they try and ‘shoehorn’ a sales and marketing rationale around these ‘easy printing’ structures. 😎 Additive Surgical is truly differentiated, in everything we do. Different biomimetic lattices and designs in each implant to address different clinical challenges in spinal fusion procedures. #testing #australianmade #australianinnovation #spine #lattice #biomimetic #3Dprinting #adelaide

Additive Surgical will be attending the North American Spine Society in Chicago later this month. Please reach out to our CEO, Gibran Maher, for a meeting / coffee to discuss the truly innovative spinal implant technology that we have available. Are you a clinician with an idea for a bespoke Off The Shelf implant range? Let’s chat. Are you a Distributor seeking cutting edge implant technology with multiple, biomimetic lattices in a single implant? Let’s chat. #innovation #3Dprinting #spine #australianmade #powdertoimplant #spinesurgery #expandablecage

💡Continued progress in critical areas of biomedical engineering have made some amazing advancements in the capability of technology available. 🙀 3D Printing Metals 🙀 Computational Design 🙀 Advanced Lattice Software Technology 🙀 Digital FEA 🙀 Generative AI 🗣️ These advances to many, are just buzz words. However, to Additive Surgical they are the tools that have enabled the next generation of advanced spinal implant technology. 💪🏽 In our proprietary PorOssity™ technology, we have incorporated specific, biomimetic lattices with very deliberate design philosophies intended to address some of the clinical challenges of spine surgery. 🌈 With multiple and distinct structures incorporated into single implants, the future of implant tech is looking bright. What do you think of think of this prototype design for a cervical cage?
