\nSolving for skeletal immaturity<\/b><\/p>

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#medicaldevice<\/a>--In striking an exclusive distribution agreement with OrthoPediatrics Corp. announced today, OSSIO Inc. expands access to its revolutionary orthopedic fixation technology \u2014 bio-integrative, metal-free OSSIOfiber<\/i>\u00ae<\/sup> implants \u2014 to the approximately 400 U.S. children\u2019s hospitals and care facilities whose orthopedic surgeons treat most pediatric patients admitted with bone fractures and skeletal deformities.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\n\"It\u2019s not often that kids need implants for broken bones, since most pediatric fractures can be treated without surgery,\u201d said Dr. Jue Cao, M.D., a Denver-based orthopedic surgeon with specialty fellowship training in pediatric orthopedics, including hand surgery, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado. \u201cBut when a child does need surgery, I sit down with them and their parents to explain the options.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cWe have two options for fixing your fracture: metal or no metal, I tell them. When a fracture is appropriate for a metal-free implant, that\u2019s my preference. OSSIOfiber<\/i> implants provide the stability the broken bone needs to heal while gradually being replaced by the child\u2019s own new bone. One of the biggest advantages of these bio-integrative implants is what doesn\u2019t have to happen during recovery. Because there\u2019s no metal involved, many children can avoid a second surgery to remove hardware. The implant is gradually incorporated into the healing bone, allowing kids to focus on getting back to being kids instead of another operation.\u201d<\/p>

\nConservative estimates of annual hospitalizations for pediatric patients requiring surgical treatment of bone fractures coalesce at upwards of 150,000 cases.<\/p>

\nBased on a revolution in biomaterial science, OSSIOfiber<\/i> implants are gradually incorporated into the patient\u2019s bone after performing their fixation function, leaving nothing permanent behind after about two years post-implantation. This advance in orthopedic fixation technology obviates the need for the hardware removal surgeries that pediatric patients who initially receive metal implants usually require due to their skeletal immaturity.<\/p>

\n\u201cPartnering with OrthoPediatrics \u2014 the gold standard in pediatric orthopedics \u2014 is a natural fit for us,\u201d said Brennan Marilla, OSSIO Chief Commercial & Operating Officer. \u201cThe deep relationships they have with the country\u2019s leading children\u2019s hospitals and pediatric-focused orthopedic surgeons will accelerate adoption of OSSIOfiber<\/i> implants, a fixation technology ideally suited to kids that offers obvious benefits to patients of all ages, adults included. Our FDA-cleared technology has already demonstrated remarkable results across a variety of orthopedic surgeries, including pediatric trauma and reconstructive cases.\u201d<\/p>

\nUnlike traditional metal implants that remain in the body permanently, OSSIOfiber<\/i> implants are made from a proprietary blend of natural mineral fibers that integrate with newly formed bone surrounding the fracture. They provide initial fixation strength comparable to traditional metal implants while safely and completely integrating into the patient\u2019s own bone tissue within 18\u201324 months, leaving no foreign material behind. More specifically, OSSIOfiber<\/i> implants transform orthopedic fixation because they are designed to:<\/p>
