OPM’s OsteoFab technology features bonelike mechanics, bone ongrowth, radiolucency and antibacterial/antiviral properties.

“As OPM focuses on providing advanced implantable polymers and contract manufacturing services, we look to work with industry leaders that are dedicated to innovative solutions that drive medical device technology forward in ways that reduce system costs and improve patient outcomes,” OPM founder and CEO Scott DeFelice said in the release.
