Amedica changed its corporate name to SINTX Technologies.
The company changed its name to better reflect its focus on developing and commercializing silicon nitride for biomedical applications.
Amedica recently sold its commercial spine business to CTL Medical for up to $10 million. Following the transaction, CTL Medical changed its name to CTL-Amedica.
“Our new corporate brand reflects both our core competence in the science and production of silicon nitride ceramics, as well as encouraging prospects for the future, as an [original equipment manufacturer] of spine implants to CTL-Amedica, and several opportunities outside of spine,” said SINTX Technologies Chairman and CEO B. Sonny Bal, MD.
“As SINTX Technologies, we will focus on developing silicon nitride in terms of product design, and future biomaterial formulations, for a variety of OEM customers.”
