NeedleGrip™ surface technology for osteoinductivity
NeedleGrip surface techonologyMagnetOs: a bone graft like no other
The one thing a surgeon can do right now to maximize fusion rates? Re-evaluate their selection of bone graft.
Surgeons can maximize clinical outcomes by making evidence-based decisions on bone graft selection.
MagnetOs is a synthetic next generation osteoinductive bone graft with a unique NeedleGrip surface technology that has shown favorable preliminary results vs. autograft in a prospective, multi-center, randomized, intrapatient controlled trial.
3 well-controlled Level I clinical studies
>25,000 patients treated worldwide. Kuros has a commercial & research footprint that spans 4 continents and covers 19 markets.

Mechanism of action through the NeedleGrip surface technology
NeedleGrip: Getting a grip on non-unions
MagnetOs is a bone graft like no other: it is osteoinductive thanks to its NeedleGrip surface technology, which means it grows bone without the need of added cells or growth factors. This surface technology provides traction for our body’s vitally important ‘pro-healing' immune cells (M2 macrophages).
This in turn, unlocks previously untapped potential to stimulate stem cells - and form new bone throughout the graft.
The growing body of science behind NeedleGrip is called osteoimmunology. But for surgeons and their patients, it means one thing: a more predictable fusion.
Pro-inflammatory
Promote inflammatory fibroblast proliferation.
Polarization
Phenotype changes accordingto the environment.
Pro-healing
Upregulate healing cells such as stem cells.
Demonstrates cells communicating
Differentiation
Stem cells differentiate into osteoblasts that lay down osteoid.
Demonstrates cells differentiating

MagnetOs propagates bone growth from the core
MagnetOs propagates new bone growth from the core as well as by creeping-edge repair in critically-sized long-span fusion sites, such as PLF.
MagnetOs
6 weeks
Islands of bone form in the center of the fusion bridge for MagnetOs.
12 weeks
Complete bridging of bone between the transverse processes.
26 weeks
Resorption and remodeling of the graft.
Autograft
Result: Complete bridging bone that is equivalent to autograft.

Novabone Putty® i-FACTOR Putty® FIBERCRAFT® BG Matrix 5mmMagnetOs versus autograft: a level 1 clinical trial
MagnetOs Granules was evaluated for posterolateral fusion in a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial with intra-patient comparisons.
Study design
Single-/multi-level instrumented posterolateral fusion with intrapatient comparison of standalone MagnetOs Granules versus autograft (at least 50% iliac crest derived).
Demographics
• 91 subjects
• 128 levels
• Mean pre-operative ODI = 46
• 19% of subjects current smokers
Surgeons performing procedures were blinded until bone graft application.
CTs read by two independent, blinded spine surgeons.
One-year follow-up: Fusion by CT, ODI, adverse events (safety)
MagnetOs has achieved nearly twice the fusion rate of autograft in Level 1 clinical trial
Overall fusion rate of 79% for MagnetOs vs 47% autograft 79% 47%
Achieving successful fusions in the smoker population has always been incredibly challenging. However, MagnetOs demonstrated more than twice the fusion rate in this group compared to autograft.
Patient case study 1
Results from an ongoing prospective clinical trial†6
70-year-old female
Diagnosis: Spinal deformity
Radiographic Outcomes: The MagnetOs Granules side was fused at all four levels, whereas the autograft side was fused at two levels. The interbody was fused.
Procedure:
Four-level PLF at L1-L5 (with TLIF)
• Right side of subject: Autograft
• Left side of subject: MagnetOs Granules
Patient case study 2
67-year-old male
Diagnosis: Expected instability from decompressive surgery.
Radiographic Outcomes: The MagnetOs Granules side fused at three levels and the autograft side fused at two levels. Both interbody constructs fused.
Procedure:
Four-level PLF at L2-S1 (combined with TLIF)
• Right side of subject: MagnetOs Granules
• Left side of subject: Autograft

MagnetOs Granules can be combined with autogenous bone, blood, PRP and/or bone marrow.
This is our original advanced bone graft based on the submicron needle-shaped NeedleGrip surface technology. It forms the foundation of all MagnetOs formulations and is the driver of its mechanism of action.
Available in: Volume (cc) Granule size (mm)
5 1 - 2
20 2 - 4
MagnetOs Putty can be combined with autogenous bone. MagnetOs Putty carrier is designed to maximize handling properties, so you can twist, tear and mold it into any shape desired before implantation and remain confident that it will stay in place and resist migration and irrigation.
Available in: Volume (cc) Dimensions (mm) Granule size (mm)
18 L x 8 W x 7 H 1 - 2
