About the Company
Orthovita is a spine and orthopedic biosurgery company with proprietary
biomaterials and biologic technologies for the development and
commercialization of synthetic, biologically active, tissue engineering
products. We develop and market synthetic-based biomaterials products
for use in spine surgery, the repair of fractures and a broad range of
clinical needs in the trauma, joint reconstruction, revision and
extremities markets. Our near-term commercial business is based on our
VITOSS® Bone Graft
Substitute technology platforms, which are designed to address the
non-structural bone graft market by offering synthetic alternatives to
the use of autograft or cadaver-based bone material, VITAGEL®
Surgical Hemostat, which is an adherent matrix and an impermeable
barrier to blood flow, and VITASURE™
Absorbable Hemostat. Our longer-term U.S. clinical development program
is focused on our internally developed CORTOSS®
Bone Augmentation Material technology platform, which is primarily
designed for injections in osteoporotic spines to treat vertebral
compression fractures. We work jointly with Kensey Nash Corporation to
develop and commercialize certain products based on our VITOSS platform,
we market VITAGEL under a license agreement, we market VITASURE
Absorbable Hemostat under a distribution rights agreement, and we
continue to pursue similar relationships.
