Secant MedicalĀ®, the industry leader in design, development, and custom manufacturing services for implantable biomedical textiles, will be exhibiting at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2011 Annual Meeting in San Diego, Calif., on February 15-19, 2011, at booth #6042.
The meeting is the largest gathering of companies displaying products and services specifically designed for the orthopedic surgeon. It attracts over 14,000 domestic and international physicians, and other healthcare professionals, and offers the best single opportunity to compare products, attend educational demonstrations and review solutions from more than 500 companies from around the world.
"The AAOS conference provides an excellent opportunity to present the advantages of biomedical textiles as an enabling technology to advance the next generation of minimally invasive surgical procedures," says Kyle Mullens, Director of Business Development-Orthopedics at Secant Medical. "It also allows us to highlight our continuum of services, collaborative and confidential engineering process, and deep knowledge of the medical device field."
Engineered fabric structures can create shape transformation components for minimally invasive delivery of orthopedics devices, ordered scaffold structures for cell proliferation, and flexible, load-sharing implants -- to name a few. Secant Medical also offers design opportunities for leveraging bioresorbable hybrid constructions that provide versatility and customization beyond the boundaries of the standard repertoire of materials.
