Grow bone with MagnetOsTM

Welcome to our Evidence Center

In an independent, investigator-initiated Level 1 human clinical study published in Spine, MagnetOs achieved nearly twice the fusion rate of autograft in challenging Posterolateral Fusion (PLF) procedures.1,2

One-year fusion rates from the prospective, randomized, multi-center, intra-patient controlled trial in patients undergoing PLF from 1-6 levels (T10-S2) demonstrated:1

Surgeons performing procedures were blinded until bone graft application

One-year follow-up: Fusion by CT, ODI, adverse events (safety)

Where there's smoke... there's fusion

MagnetOs demonstrated more than twice the fusion rate in smokers compared to autograft.3

Of this patient population, 19% were active smokers and 35% were former smokers; an important data point given the challenge in treating high-risk patient groups.†‡1,4

What did the independent investigators say?

Based on the results of this investigator-initiated study, does 'indicated superiority' mean it's time to reassess the gold standard in PLF?

In the investigators' words: "Even though the primary aim of the current study was to demonstrate non-inferiority, our findings indicate superiority of the BCP<µm (MagnetOs) in terms of CT-determined PLF at one year."1

What makes MagnetOs different

Ultimately, this study lends further weight to MagnetOs as the bone graft of choice for surgeons and their patients. How was this product able to achieve such compelling results?

MagnetOs grows bone thanks to its unique NeedleGripTM surface technology — which has been shown in pre-clinical studies to stimulate stem cells and form new bone across the entire graft.‡§5,6

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ultra-high resolution of MagnetOs at 20,000x magnification illustrates that the needles are anatomically sized to match the cells.1

The evidence is growing...

This Level 1 human clinical trial is just one of many studies that have been (and continue to be) undertaken by the team at Kuros Biosciences.

Every day, our team works across the globe to grow this platform through our global research, development & technology program: Project Fusion. This innovative research engine is unlike any in the industry and remains firmly focused on not only improving the performance of existing MagnetOs products; but also exploring new opportunities and applications.

What does this mean for you and your patients?

The one thing a surgeon can do right now to improve fusion rates and maximize clinical outcomes is to choose a bone graft based on evidence.1-3
