Synthetic Polymer Technology
Kensey Nash has extensive experience in the design, development, and manufacture of medical devices from synthetic resorbable polymers for use in a wide range of applications. Polymers may be used for solid devices such as interbody fusion devices, and porous devices such as bone void fillers or as high-strength reinforced products such as trauma repair plating systems. Additives such as ceramics or growth factors can be incorporated into these devices to enhance their osteoconductive and osteoinductive behavior.
The polymers typically used in these applications include:
- Polylactides (PLA)
- Polylactide-co-glycolides (PLGA)
- Polycaprolactones (PCL)
- Polycarbonates (e.g. TMC)
- Polyurethanes
Porous Tissue Matrix™ (PTM)
Kensey Nash’s proprietary Porous Tissue Matrix™ (PTM) technology allows us to create devices with highly interconnected porosity from a variety of resorbable and non-resorbable polymers. Our novel processing methods allow us to produce custom architectures to meet the specific performance characteristics of end-use products. PTM materials may be formed into cylinders, cubes, granules, spheres, micro-spheres, hollow tubes, and and
sheets. Various PTM-based products have received PMA, 510(k) and CE Mark clearances.
High Strength Absorbable Implants
By controlling molecular orientation during processing Kensey Nash can enhance the mechanical properties of the base polymer to produce implants with increased strength. This technology allows us to develop polymeric products for applications where previously only metallic devices could be used and also enables us to develop smaller diameter polymeric screws, pins and rods with strengths equal to larger product offerings.
