BoneWelding® Technology

New Standards for Othopedic Surgery

BoneWelding^® technology sets a new and superior standard for orthopedic implants: superior primary stability due to immediate bonding with the bone, less invasive implant fixation, and reduced surgical time. The BoneWelding^® process employs gentle ultrasonic energy to induce controlled melting of pre-defined, polymeric implant components.

Gentle pressure on the handpiece, together with ultrasonic vibration through the sonotrode, push the thermoplastic implant into the pre-drilled hole in the bone.

This sets up shearing forces at the contact surfaces between the bone and polymer, causing small amounts of polymer to liquefy.

The liquid polymer flows into the trabecular tissue structure, immediately solidifies and provides a mechanically stable bond to the bone after only a few seconds.

Minimal thermal impact to the bone and surrounding tissues

The thermal impact on the bone is minimal. The short ultrasonic impulse and the localized melting of the polymer do not disturb bone healing or osseointegration. Temperatures measured at the interface between bone and polymer rise by less than 10 °C and only for a few seconds.

No bone resorption at the spot of maximum temperature exposure.

Proven Technology

Studies in sheep with follow-ups of up to 1 year have proven that this has no negative impact on bone remodeling and repair. Histologies show no increase in inflammatory reactions due to the ultrasonic insertion methods and the melting of the polymer.

Manuela Rotach

Product Development Engineer at VetWelding

I find our BoneWelding technology inspiring; it is so simple for a surgeon to apply and yet brilliantly stable in so many different bone structures. I also like that this cutting edge technology can be used in veterinary medicine. I love animals and am happy that with our work and development, pets will have better solutions if they are in need of an anchor or a plate.

Valuable for all Partners

BoneWelding^® technology is beneficial for patients, veterinarians, and the entire veterinary healthcare system. It improves patient outcome while reducing overhead cost to the veterinarian. We promise to set a new and superior standard in animal bone healing.
