About Ozics:
Ozics vision is to develop a range of materials and implants that deliver the clinical benefits outlined above. The basic material is a composite of a dimethylacrylate based polymer matrix and ceramic filler, containing silicateglass and hydroxyapatite (HA). The material can be administered by injection to provide a custom-made, intra-bony implant. Used primarily as a stand-alone device, it can also be used in conjunction with other fixation approaches and devices. Ozics’ first product offering, CompO6™ reinforced bone composite, is an injectable bone cement indicated for vertebral compression fractures and to aid screw purchase in trauma procedures throughout the entire skeleton. Ozics is determined to bring to the market a minimally invasive fracture fixation system to be used in load bearing fractures, such as hip, as a stand-alone device allowing immediate unassisted mobility.
