Spinal fusion surgery and the use of spinal implants to mechanically stabilize the spine have
significantly increased over the last decade. Octane has developed a proprietary bioactive
spinal implant with active remodeling capacity. The immune response to the implant is an
important aspect to determine if the implant has any negative (inflammatory response) or
positive (successful in bone remodeling) response. This project will assess the inflammatory
response by using a cell model to evaluate Octane’s implant material.
