About the Company
Orthovita is an orthobiologics and biosurgery company that develops and markets novel medical devices. The orthobiologics platform offers products for the fusion, regeneration, and fixation of human bone. The biosurgery platform offers products for controlling intra-operative bleeding, also known as hemostasis. Our current fusion and regeneration products are based on our proprietary VITOSS® Bone Graft Substitute technology and address the non-structural bone graft market with synthetic, bioactive alternatives to patient- and cadaver-derived bone tissue. CORTOSS® Bone Augmentation Material, an injectable, polymer composite that mimics the structural characteristics of human bone, provides the basis for our fixation portfolio. CORTOSS Bone Augmentation Material is approved in certain countries outside the U.S. and is under review for clearance in the U.S. for vertebral augmentation. Our hemostasis portfolio includes VITAGEL® Surgical Hemostat, a unique, collagen-based matrix that controls bleeding and facilitates healing, and VITASURE™ Absorbable Hemostat, a plant-based product that can be deployed quickly throughout surgery.
