The National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded a grant to Nanovis.
Here are four things to know:
1. The research grant will be used to fund pre-clinical studies examining Nanovis' deeply porous FortiCore interbody fusion devices enhanced with Nanovis' nanotube technology.
2. The FortiCore interbody fusion device will be studied together with Nanovis' nanosurfaced FortiFix pedicle screws.
3. Richard Guyer, MD, co-founder of Plano-based Texas Back Institute, and Jean-Jacques Abitbol, MD, founder of San Diego-based California Spine Group will lead the research.
4. Nanovis' spinal nanotechnology platform and soft tissue regeneration nanotechnology platform have received eight competitive, peer-reviewed grants from the NIH and other research organizations.
