Amedica Corp. Jobs and Profile

Only Amedica has developed the technology to create medical grade silicon nitride ceramic; a material that, compared to others on the market, promises implants with excellent mechanical properties, higher wear resistance, and greatly improved compatibility with MRI, fluoroscopy and CT imaging systems.

In February, 2006, Amedica received FDA clearance for the first ever load-bearing ceramic spinal device and, in 2007, for our Valeo® Spacer System implants, Cervical Plating System, and Pedicle Screw System. In our products pipeline, we can point to a ceramic cervical disc and to total hip and knee implants that make full use of the silicon nitride technology.

Here's our point: Dramatically inhibiting the progression of debilitating diseases specific to spine and joints requires that a company step up with new approaches and new thinking. Amedica is that company. Everyday, we challenge ourselves to... rethink what's possible.
