Dr. Silverman made headlines recently when it was announced that he was the first surgeon in the state of Minnesota to use Ossiofiber technology in a successful surgery!
For those of you unfamiliar with Ossiofiber, we profiled it back in June when their parent company was honored with the 2019 Frost & Sullivan North American New Product Innovation Award for their development of Ossiofiber Intelligent Bone Regeneration Technology. The product claims to be the first fully bio-integrative fixation device that is leaps and bounds ahead of traditional fixation hardware.
For starters, the fiber’s design is twice as strong as traditional non-metal fixation devices, helping to provide strength and stability to the area. But the real innovation lies in the fact that the fiber naturally incorporates into a person’s bone in as few as 18 months, meaning there is no need to undergo a second surgery to remove the hardware once the bone has healed.
First Case In Minnesota
Dr. Silverman recently used the technology during a surgery, and so far everything is going exactly as planned. In fact, he was told by the parent company that he was the first surgeon in Minnesota to use Ossiofiber technology during a corrective surgical procedure. Congrats to Dr. Silverman and his team for this honor!
In an effort to be fully transparent, we want to let you know that Dr. Silverman is an independent consultant for Ossio INC., but the main reason he was drawn to them in the first place is because he truly believes in the technology and its ability to provide patients with improved healing and a reduced need for a secondary surgery to remove the hardware. For the right patient, he believes it can be a game changer.
