Technology & Products

Key Products

Fortilink spinal interbody systems; Tetrafuse 3D technology; Biologic, metal, and synthetic implants

Technological Advantage

RTI's Fortilink family is produced by additive manufacturing, allowing porous structures that promote bone ingrowth. The Tetrafuse technology is protected by patents and FDA clearances, providing a regulatory barrier to entry.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

3D-printed porous PEEK/titanium spinal implants promote bone ingrowth and fusion, reducing revision rates and improving patient outcomes while enabling faster product innovation.

How They Differentiate

RTI differentiates through its Tetrafuse 3D-printed PEEK technology, which combines the osteoconductive properties of porous titanium with the favorable modulus of PEEK, while competitors focus on titanium-only 3D-printed interbodies.
