Why OSSIOfiber®

Traditional metal implant materials have not significantly changed in over 100 years. These permanent implants can often lead to ongoing discomfort, painful swelling, and sensitivity to cold temperatures. In fact, in 25% of cases, these metal implants lead to additional procedures to remove them.1

The OSSIOfiber® difference

OSSIOfiber® allows your doctor to perform the surgical procedure that is best for you. The implant is the difference.

This means:

  • Strength during the healing phase
  • Avoids additional surgery for hardware removal
  • Full integration into your own bone

Avoid the complications of the old metal implants. Just your own fully functional self.

Anne Headshot

I developed pain in both feet after years of wearing pointy shoes and high heels. Initially, I wanted to avoid surgery for as long as I could. But when I found out about the OSSIOfiber option that includes a more natural approach without using foreign substances, like metal, I decided to move forward with surgery, and I’m happy I did.

Ellen Headshot

I was in chronic pain for two years but was reluctant to have surgery because I didn’t want to take time off. I was on board when I learned OSSIOfiber® hones in on the body’s own ability to heal. I was on my feet quickly, and I’m thrilled with the outcome of my surgery.

Anita Headshot

I knew someone who had a screw come out and had to go back into surgery. OSSIOfiber naturally grows into the bone, so this will be a one-time surgery for me. After years of living in agony, I’m pain-free, and it’s had such a positive impact on my life.

Your recovery

After a period of about two years, the implant will be completely replaced by your own bone.5 You can get back to the life you deserve without the worries and complications of metal implants in your body because OSSIOfiber® provides an all-natural solution that leaves only your healthy bone behind.
