Technology & Products
Key Products
Cervical Spine Truss System™, Stand Alone Cervical Spine Truss System™, Anterior Spine Truss System™, Posterior Spine Truss System™, Lateral Spine Truss System™, Osteotomy Truss System, Ankle Truss System, Hammertoe Truss System™ (HTS)
Technological Advantage
First to market with an FDA-cleared 3D-printed titanium spine implant (2012). Their technology provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and an open architecture that allows for up to 75% porosity, maximizing the space available for bone graft material.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Leverages 'mechanobiology' to provide active healing; the truss design distributes mechanical strain across the implant to stimulate osteoblast response and bone ingrowth, offering superior structural integrity and fusion compared to traditional porous or solid implants.
How They Differentiate
4WEB differentiates through its proprietary 'Truss Implant Technology,' which utilizes structural engineering and topological dimension theory rather than just surface porosity. This design creates a 'wicking' effect for bone graft material and uses mechanobiology to actively stimulate an osteoblast response throughout the entire implant.
