Focus on IS

The ISS is a revolution in implant fixation. The preliminary in vitro data show a 1.5- to 3-time increase in primary stability. The technology can be used for all implant systems and is not restricted to one supplier’s implants. NEXILIS has optimally developed the use of this technology so that minimal energy is used while maximum stabilisation is obtained.

The concept is to insert a polymer tube in the burr hole, to melt the polymer by using an ultrasonic device and to insert the implant afterwards. The process combines the liquefaction of a polymer to achieve better stability compared to implants alone. The ultrasonic energy causes liquefaction of the polymer in contact with the bone. The resorbable polymer material penetrates into the cancellous bone structures. Re-solidification initiates as soon as the supply of ultrasonic energy is stopped. The insertion takes some seconds to complete. Afterwards the implant can be inserted.
