Traditional materials and methods limit the spine surgeon’s performance. We’re changing that.From its 1990 incorporation, coLigne has evolved as a private company from product importer to manufacturing pioneer serving spine surgeons and their patients. Providing product technology and coAlliance education services to the world is coLigne’s business.
We maintain that new thinking, strategies and biomaterials are required to build higher performance implant systems for more complete surgery, yet with less trauma to the patient. Working close in the spine community and assembling wide expertise into a functioning group, spine implant systems can be made simpler to employ, yet more effective in treatment. Know-how grows. Treatment technology continuously improves. This is the “coLigne strategy in spine”.
In 1994, coLigne proposed ostaPek “built like bone” composite technology, a high density long carbon fiber reinforced polymer (LCFRP) in controlled orientation. Our proprietary technology builds ostaPek composite into patented matrixes that better replicate the specific mechanical properties of a specific bone. This is not possible with traditional metal or simple plastic. Strength with memory of corrective form is assured for weight bearing support that can also be flexibile and without radiographic artifact. Just like bone.
coLigne product technology continues to emerge for spinal trauma, tumors, scoliosis and degenerative disc disease. In 2007, coLigne introduced the ostaPek composite rod pedicle fixation system, providing no compromise biologic and mechanical performance.
coLigne headquarters are in Zurich, Switzerland, with a development office in Paris, France and a biomaterial lab in Boulder Colorado USA.
