The study compared the i-FACTOR biologic bone graft to autologous bone delivered via interbody fusion cages in single and multilevel PLIF. A radiologic fusion rating for patients treated with i-FACTOR showed a 97.8 percent fusion rate, compared with an 82.2 fusion rate for patients treated with the autograft after one year.

The company received the CE Mark in 2008 for the i-FACTOR and is currently being evaluated by the FDA for clearance in the United States.
