Vertera Spine

Introducing Seamless Innovation. At Vertera Spine, we aim to develop and commercialize unique spine solutions featuring our proprietary PEEK Scoria™ technology. Developed by a group of engineers and researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Scoria is the first porous PEEK (polyetheretherketone) surface technology that seamlessly integrates with the bulk material without compromising the mechanical integrity. Its properties include [1,2]:

• 99% interconnectivity
• 65% porosity
• 2x shear strength of trabecular bone
• Comparable fatigue strength and modulus to solid PEEK
• Facilitates bony tissue ingrowth
