Orthopedic

Medical Device Textile Solutions

Explore the advances of textile design that enable minimally invasive solutions for bone grafting and fusion, spinal motion preservation, tissue fixation, and cartilage, tendon, ligament, and meniscal repair.

The first step in developing an orthopedic device is identifying the most appropriate textile material to utilize. It’s a challenge Secant Group tackles immediately with every client – whether you’re a startup or global manufacturer.

Textiles for orthopedic devices can be applied in the following ways:

  • As flexible structures for tissue reinforcement and joint support
  • To join materials and secure implants in the body
A solutions-focused approach

With access to proactively built and readily available fabric samples, our device engineers can shorten lead times, limit development costs, and deliver a prototype in just a few weeks. In turn, you gain more customization and fabric modification throughout the product development process to meet new and emerging market needs.

Structures:

  • Bone anchors
  • Bone containment bags
  • High-strength sutures
  • Scaffolds for load-sharing
  • Scaffolds for soft tissue repair
  • Synthetic ligaments
  • Tethers
