Amedica entered into a multi-year original equipment manufacturer agreement with Spinal Kinetics.
Under the agreement, Amedica will assist Spinal Kinetics with proprietary design, development, manufacture and supply of silicon nitride spinal implants. Silicon nitride is a biomaterial that can be shaped and engineered into complex designs and surfaces to address a variety of medical needs.
