The minimally invasive team at VEXIM has just announced the launch of Interface, an innovative new biomaterial for bone fixation. Interface, meant to be used with SpineJack, is a biological alternative to existing orthopedic cements for treating traumatic vertebral fractures in patients with good bone quality. As indicated by the company, Interface preserves the existing bone tissue. The injection of this biomaterial permits optimal stabilizing of the vertebral body while facilitating bone remodeling. This osseointegration results from Interface’s specific formula, composed of 50% hydroxyapatite particles, with a formulation very close to bone structures.

The Interface cement, developed by VEXIM, has the same physical properties as the well-known and widely used cement, Cohesion:

  • Very high viscosity, reducing the risk of leakages
  • Optimal working time before hardening, making it safer for surgeons to inject
  • High radiopacity, allowing its deployment in the vertebra to be monitored with precision

Vincent Gardès, CEO of VEXIM told OTW, “Vexim aims at pushing the boundaries of vertebral fractures treatment by launching new products such as Interface, compatible with SpineJack. This has allowed us to equip numerous European hospitals and provide intensive training to surgeons that work with our technology. We intend to pursue this strategy to establish SpineJack as a benchmark for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.”
