Executive Summary
Medtronic has launched Nanostim, its synthetic bone paste for use in surgical procedures, in the EU and other non-US markets. The nanohydroxyapatite-based bone graft substitute provides a supporting structure to aid bone healing in places where gaps exist in the bone. The paste can be filled into defects regardless of their shape, and because it consists of nanocrystals, does not harden after application, claimed Medtronic's Memphis, Tennessee-based spinal and biologics division.
