The future of spinal fusions is right here
Easing the burden of spine-related pain
Spine-related pain is taking a huge toll on our society: more days in bed, more days off work, and at a greater financial cost to westernized healthcare than any other condition. In fact, today, nearly 1 in 5 spinal fusion surgeries result in a non-union of the bones in the spine.
Here at Kuros Biosciences, we’re on a mission to ease this burden through superior biologics for better spinal fusions. And here’s how.
Superior spinal fusions
for today, and tomorrow
MagnetOs is a bone graft like no other. It grows bone even in soft tissue thanks to our unique NeedleGrip™ surface technology – for more efficient and predictable fusions.*†‡1-3
Fibrin-PTH is the latest innovation in our pipeline. The first ever investigational drug-biologic candidate to be evaluated for spinal fusion, it has the potential to be a true game changer.§
A word from our CEO, Joost de Bruijn
We are a Swiss-headquartered global innovation company with 150 years’ combined research experience in the field of biologics for spinal fusion. Our commercial & research footprint spans three continents and covers more than 10 markets.
Project Fusion: where Science & Clinical Evidence meet
We believe that a greater quality and quantity of science holds the key to easing the burden of spine surgery – especially as high non-union rates force surgeons, medical organizations and insurers to reassess the bone grafts they choose. Our response? Project Fusion: a global research program that brings together an unprecedented blend of scientific, pre-clinical and clinical studies.
Strategic Advisory Board
Our work is supported by some of the world’s pre-eminent spinal surgeons and experts.
