AUSTIN, Texas, 19 de septiembre de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DiFusion Inc, un desarrollador de polímeros médicos avanzados que utiliza una tecnología zeolita novedosa, ha anunciado hoy que su compuesto ZFUZE® PEEK ha sido reconocido por Orthopedics This Week como una de las diez mejores tecnologías de la columna de 2018. ZFUZE ofrece la tecnología patentada, microporosa, hidrofílica (polietilenocetona) PEEK de DiFusion, una superficie microporosa de carga negativa que disminuye la encapsulación fibrótica del implante mientras que a la vez aumenta la osteointegración.

Orthopedics This Week reconoce todos los años a los equipos de ingeniería e inventores que desarrollan y trasladan con éxito productos innovadores a uso clínico para tratar enfermedades de la columna. Las tecnologías ganadoras de este año se seleccionaron basándose en la creatividad, la innovación, la capacidad de resolver un problema clínico crítico y su impacto potencial a largo plazo para la cirugía espinal. 

Aunque los implantes PEEK de metal poroso y con revestimiento de metal poroso llevan usándose desde hace algún tiempo, ZFUZE destaca por ser el primer y único biomaterial nuevo auténtico. Puesto que ZFUZE tiene una superficie de carga negativa, microporosa e hidrofílica en lugar de una superficie inerte hidrofóbica, puede ofrecer una interfaz de implante con el hueso que soporta el crecimiento óseo en su interior mientras mantiene las propiedades mecánicas y de imagen del PEEK tradicional. "ZFUZE es un nuevo biomaterial que se puede crear con moldes de inyección, imprimir a 3D o hacerse a máquina. Se pueden incrustar tratamientos superficiales al material como por ejemplo grabado en láser o revestimiento nanológico", añadió el fundador y director ejecutivo de DiFusion, Derrick Johns, "esto le da a la plataforma de ZFUZE muchas ventajas clínicas y financieras a socios estratégicos potenciales".

ZFUZE se consideró un recipiente viable del premio Tecnología de la columna de este año debido a la exhaustiva investigación en animales que se presentó sobre el compuesto ZFUZE PEEK. La inmunoquímica del nuevo biomaterial mostró un descenso estadísticamente significativo de citoquinas interleuquina 1-beta (IL1-B) (biomarcadores conocidos de la fibrosis) y un aumento de buena respuesta in vitro, investigación que se presentará en la reunión de la North American Spine Society del 27 de septiembre en Los Ángeles. Los estudios los realizaron investigadores del Instituto de neurociencias del Allegheny Medical Center. El resultado del estudio demuestra que el compuesto microporoso ZFUZE PEEK suscita una respuesta osteogénica elevada in vitro mientras que reduce la respuesta inmune fibrótica a la vez, comparado con el PEEK inerte, hidrofóbico.

"Este es el primer biomaterial que hemos probado de manera independiente que se ha diseñado para una respuesta disminuida del sistema inmune.  Este enfoque novedoso de repensar la respuesta del material tuvo como resultado menos fibrosis y un mayor grado de osteointegración que no hemos observado en otros nuevos biomateriales hasta el momento", comentó el doctor Boyle Cheng, director del Instituto de neurociencias del Allegheny Medical Center.

Acerca de DiFusion Inc:
DiFusion, Inc. es un fabricante privado de biomateriales ubicado en Austin, Texas. DiFusion ha desarrollado varias tecnologías MITA (agentes terapéuticos metálicos e iónicos) patentadas internacionalmente para el crecimiento óseo, regeneración de tejido, antimicrobianos, reparación celular, construcción de andamiaje y angiogénesis aumentada. Nuestro primer producto ZFUZE™* se desarrolló como cuna plataforma biomaterial oestoconductor con capacidad de carga para aplicaciones ortopédicas. Ha demostrado tener mucho éxito en 2 grandes estudios en animales. ZFUZE™ se está escalando en estos momentos para su lanzamiento comercial a principios de 2019.
