The nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology is specifically engineered to have nano textured features at a nanometer (10°) level, which have demonstrated the ability to elicit an endogenous cellular and biochemical response attributed to these nanotextured features in vitro. The nanoLOCK™ surface technology demonstrates the elements to be considered a nanotechnology as outlined in the FDA nanotechnology guidance document. New bone formation through the implant is intended to provide long-term structural support and fusion at the implanted disc space. Implants are composed of ASTM F136 Ti 6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy and are provided either sterile or non-sterile. The Endoskeleton™ TL Hyp. implants are composed of ASTM F3001 Ti 6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy and are provided sterile.
The Endoskeleton™ TAS & TAS Hyp. and Endoskeleton™ TCS Interbody systems include integrated fixation screws for stabilizing the implants when placed in the interbody space. Screws are composed of ASTM F136 Ti 6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy and are provided either sterile or nonsterile.
