Advancing Spine Surgery with Amorphous Alloys

Exhibitor
Heraeus AMLOY Technologies GmbH

  • Amorphous alloys offer proven biocompatibility, making them a viable alternative to titanium and PEEK in spine surgery.

  • They exhibit enhanced resilience with higher elasticity and strength, providing flexibility while maintaining stability.

  • The use of amorphous alloys allows for miniaturization and design improvements, resulting in thinner wall thickness in spinal components.

  • These alloys possess excellent biomechanical properties, ensuring durability under static and fatigue load.

  • Amorphous metals in spinal surgery optimize the entire value chain by using functional materials for improved outcomes.

  • Near-net shape manufacturing technologies like amorphous injection molding and 3D printing enable the production of high-quality components with certified biocompatibility and enhanced biomechanical properties.

  • Components made of amorphous metals support the spine with both stability and flexibility, with an elasticity of up to 2% and strength of up to 2,000 MPa.

  • Amorphous alloys can address challenges such as subsidence or stress-shielding and offer the ability to design components more ideally for spinal applications.

  • Heraeus AMLOY utilizes 3D printing to produce complex structures and porosities, supporting long-lasting fusion and improving the product life cycle in spine surgery.
