SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Feb. 27, 2018 -- Amedica Corporation (NASDAQ: AMDA), an innovative biomaterial company that develops and commercializes silicon nitride for biomedical applications, is pleased to announce that it has been invited to present at the 29th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian Spine Society. The forum, attended by spine surgeons throughout Australia, is a new opportunity in light of Australian regulatory approval in 2017 for Amedica products. Amedica’s presentation is titled “Effect of Surface Topography on the Bacteriostatic and Osseointegration Behavior of Silicon Nitride” and summarizes an independent investigation supporting the unique antibacterial properties of silicon nitride.
“Australia is of particular interest since the first spinal fusion with silicon nitride was performed by Australian surgeons 30 years ago. The meeting is a great platform to introduce Amedica’s silicon nitride to Australian surgeons, and to build new sales in that market. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage scientific data and knowledge toward identifying new markets and sales opportunities for our products. ” said Dr. Sonny Bal, MD, MBA, JD, PhD; Chairman and CEO of Amedica.
