Project Fusion: where Science and Clinical Evidence meet

Making the unpredictable… predictable

Today, nearly 1 in 5 spinal fusions fail. So, what can we do to change this situation – for the benefit of patients, surgeons and our wider society?

This is the question that drives us at Kuros. Every day our team works across three continents to unlock the hidden secrets of bone healing through our research, development & technology program: Project Fusion.

To deliver the ideal bone graft, we believe you need the highest quality & quantity of scientific evidence behind it. Which is why Project Fusion brings together an unprecedented blend of scientific, preclinical and clinical studies – all aimed at making the unpredictable…predictable.

The goals of Project Fusion

Data

Translating evidence from benchtop through to patients with proven clinical outcomes. We are developing a clinical data package that is superior to any other bone graft cleared for use via the same regulatory pathway.

Expertise

Enlightening spine surgeons about the importance of osteoimmunology through robust and peer-reviewed science and educational resources.

The evidence is clear

How are we translating the benefits of Project Fusion? We are generating a clinical data package that is superior to any other bone graft cleared for use via the same regulatory pathway. This includes:

patents granted.

>320

scientific papers published.

>25000

patients treated.

Level 1
