Advanced Material Science Meets Surgical Precision in Groundbreaking New Platform in Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgery Market
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an advanced ceramics innovator specializing in silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) for medical applications, today announced the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its novel silicon nitride osteotomy wedges—marking the official entry into the foot and ankle reconstruction market. These next-generation implants blend cutting-edge biomaterials science with surgical precision and are designed to elevate standards in orthopedic procedures.
The devices are manufactured from SINTX’s proprietary medical-grade silicon nitride, a biomaterial with a proven clinical track record of over 50,000 spinal interbody fusion devices implanted since 2008. With this submission, SINTX is extending the success of Si₃N₄ beyond the spine and into the global foot and ankle fusion market, currently valued at approximately $750.5 million and which is expected to grow to $1.38 billion by 2032 according to industry research.
Clinical Advantages of Silicon Nitride
From a clinical standpoint, Si₃N₄ is uniquely positioned among biomaterials to solve several of the most pressing challenges in orthopedic reconstruction:
“We believe Si₃N₄ is the ideal orthopedic biomaterial for fusion procedures where infection risk, healing rate, and long-term stability are paramount,” said Eric Olson, CEO of SINTX Technologies.
Surgical Innovation: Proprietary Designs with Disposable Instrumentation
In parallel with biomaterial excellence, SINTX has engineered proprietary implant geometries and disposable instrumentation to elevate surgical outcomes:
“We’ve combined the novel clinical advantages of silicon nitride with intuitive implant designs and single-use instrumentation to deliver a truly differentiated solution,” said Lisa Marie Del Re, Chief Commercial Officer of SINTX Technologies. “This approach goes beyond innovation in material science. We’ve reimagined the surgical experience, striving to improve outcomes, enhance efficiency, and deliver stronger economic value across the care continuum.”
Strategic Launch and Financial Outlook
Delivering Value to All Stakeholders
“This is not just another foot fusion product line—this is a platform,” added Olson. “A platform built on a proven material, rooted in over a decade of clinical experience, and refined with thoughtful surgical design. We believe SINTX is redefining what’s possible in orthopedic advancements.”
The implants will be manufactured at SINTX Technologies FDA audited and ISO certified manufacturing facility and distributed under the company name SiNAPTIC Surgical. SiNAPTIC was acquired by SINTX on July 1, 2025.
