NanoACTIV is a proprietary surface modification process that creates a combination of micro- and nano-scaled surface textures shown to exhibit specific osteogenic differentiation and an endogenous cellular and biochemical response. NanoACTIV was previously cleared on the company’s additively manufactured (3D printed) titanium implants. With this clearance, the technology now extends to machined wrought titanium, after its osteogenic differentiation properties were shown to be equivalent on both materials. This expands NanoACTIV's application to more implant types, including those in other specialties.
Riva features a modular head design with audible and tactile confirmation of the head-to-shank connection. It is supported by a comprehensive portfolio of tulip head and screw shank configurations, enabling surgeons to tailor the construct to each patient’s needs, even for challenging anatomical variations or complex cases.
Today’s announcement completes the integration of NanoACTIV across the company’s spinal implant product line, which comprises:
Ryan Phillips, President of Xenix Medical, commented, “The addition of NanoACTIV to our Riva Posterior Fixation System is a key step in our overall NanoACTIV strategy. It finalizes the integration of our proprietary surface technology across our entire spine portfolio and paves the way for its application to future wrought titanium implants. Our testing has also shown that the NanoACTIV surface has further capabilities beyond osteogenic differentiation that we believe will set it apart. That work is nearing completion, and we expect to share more shortly.”
