Moving the Industry Beyond Surface Technology and Into Mechanobiology
Mechanobiology
Mech•an•o•bi•ol•o•gy
(Noun)The emerging field of science at the interface of biology and engineering that focuses on how physical forces and changes in the mechanical properties of cells and tissues contribute to development, cell differentiation, proliferation, and healing.
Advanced Structural Design
Advanced Structural Design converts load into therapeutic strain, amplifying osteogenic activity at the surgical site.1,2,10.
Open architecture Design
Open Architecture Design allows for greater graft volume and bone growth throughout the implant compared to annular designs.
Hierarchical Surface Roughness
Macro to nano-scale surface features stimulate gene expression and cell differentiation, initiating osteogenic activity.3.
Novel Snowshoe Interface
The Snowshoe Interface distributes load across the bone contact surface, reducing the risk of subsidence.4,5,6,7,8.
Advanced Structural Design
Surrounds every strut in the truss implant, providing a scaffold for cell adhesion and osteogenesis throughout the entire fusion column.

The 4WEB Difference
Truss Implant Technology provides a synergistic relationship between the hierarchical surface roughness and the truss architecture to create a cascade of osteogenic activity that supports the fusion process over time.
4WEB’s hierarchical surface roughness has been shown to provide an environment that allows for bone growth and fusion3
Under normal physiologic loading conditions, the truss implant distributes strain through the struts to adjacent cellular material, amplifying the osteogenic activity initiated by the implant surface technology.
Additionally, in vitro testing has also shown that stem cells cultured in an osteogenic medium demonstrate increased expression of certain osteogenic markers on 4WEB’s titanium hierarchical surface roughness compared to smooth titanium and smooth PEEK3.
Please note that in vitro and in vivo testing may not be indicative of clinical performance.
