HAMILTON, Bermuda - Aug. 18, 2015 - PRLog -- August 18, 2015 Hamilton, Bermuda

Ozics Holdings, Ltd. (www.ozicsholdings.com), a medical device company with high-strength, injectable, biocomposite technology inteded to be used to improve the treatment of fragility fracturesannounced today that the performance of its lead product CompO6™ has been confirmed in an independent scientific study published on Issue 14 of BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2015. The article concluded that "Comp06 provided significantly improved fixation of screws in the osteoporotic bone model based on screw pullout testing", and "The improvements achieved with novel bone cements demonstrated their potential to increase the fixation stability in osteoporotic bone compared to conventional bone cement Simplex ^® P. Good (bio)mechanical properties exceed the requirements of industry standards. The unique mechanical properties combined with HA-content make these novel bone cements more biological than PMMA bone cement."

CEO Auvo Kaikkonen stated, “ We are very pleased with this validation of our technology in one of our key surgical indications, i.e. screw augmentation. This is very important as our products are primarily intended to be used in patients with fragility fractures. The surgeons using CompO6™ for screw augmentation can now refer to measurable values when assessing whether or not to improve the purchase of the screws in a clinical procedure involving osteoporotic bone."
