SINTX Technologies leads in the knowledge, development, and commercialization of silicon nitride, a super-tough, bioactive, non-oxide ceramic material that is FDA-approved for spinal fusion surgery. Other applications under development include implants for cranio-maxillofacial surgery, arthroplasty, and dentistry. We have the deepest bench of peer-reviewed, published data on the performance of silicon nitride as a biomedical implant material.Silicon nitride is highly versatile in our hands; we recently shipped a polymer-ceramic composite intended for biomedical implants, and are working on special coatings to enhance medical-grade titanium. Beyond the biomedical space, SINTX’s products meet or exceed industrial requirements, with a range of applications from machine tools, industrial parts, and much more. An intriguing property of silicon nitride is a potent antibacterial and antiviral effect, including the ability to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory studies. A number of antipathogenic applications, especially in medical fabrics, are under development to leverage this fortuitous property toward protecting us, and hopefully reducing the worldwide burden of infection. SINTX is especially excited to enter the defense sector, with the purchase of manufacturing and technical assets of a ballistic body armor manufacturer in Dayton, Ohio. From medical innovations that improve the health of our fellow citizens, to protecting those who dedicate themselves to guarding our nation and its citizens, we take great pride in our company!
