Why we believe in 3D printing:
More and Less
We suppose that the only reason why static cages are still used in the vast majority of cases (in particular in Europe) is COST. Typically the manufacturing costs of expandable cages are at least 2-3 times higher than regular static cages.

BLUE OCEAN SPINE WILL CHANGE THIS.
We combine vast OR experience and close KOL interaction with medical device engineering expertise.
3D printing technology opens up new frontiers and design opportunities to achieve both - better products AND improved cost efficiency.
We do what makes the most sense.
Current products and treatment concepts are often either too complex and too expensive or designs and solutions that are driven by IP restrictions, US regulary hurdles (no suitable predicate devices), or reimbursement codes – not always focused on clinical needs.
We strive for solutions that make sense for the patient and the surgeon AND comply with regulations and financial business models
