KIC Ventures: Leading HealthTech Investments in Spine Surgery Who We Are For over 20 years, we have been investing in and developing breakthrough spine technologies, starting with the MANTIS system, which we sold to Stryker. Today, we are advancing beyond traditional fusion with AxioMed, the leading viscoelastic total disc replacement, and NANISX, the world’s leading outpatient spine technology. What Sets Us Apart Our unique approach to innovation—led by a Harvard-trained orthopedic spine surgeon, Kingsley R. Chin MD MBA, CEO Spine Surgeon Professor Author, collaborating with spine surgeons and engineers—focuses on developing solutions that address real-world challenges in spine care. What We Do Guided by our LESS Exposure Spine Surgery (LESS?) core principles—Restore Function, Early Intervention, and Preserve Anatomy (REP), we develop, acquire, and commercialize pioneering technologies that are driving the global shift of spine surgery into outpatient centers, improving patient outcomes, and expanding physician access to advanced solutions.

Breaking News: Federal Government Files Motion Dismissing All Charges Against Medical Device Company SpineFrontier Inc. Formerly Led By Dr Kingsley R Chin: A Major Development This marks progress in the legal journey of our CEO, Kingsley R. Chin MD MBA, CEO Spine Surgeon Professor Author. This case, which stems from allegations brought by disgruntled whistleblowers dating back to consulting fees paid as early as 2012 has closed a chapter for the company and removes one of the strongest tools used by competitors. While the pressure on us was high especially coupled with Covid-19, we believed in the justice system all along and remained patient and focused on supporting physicians and patients with our LESS Exposure Spine Surgery innovations. Today we have emerged as a new company shaped by this experience.

Implants Without Biologics Likely To Fail With Time ! Achieving spinal fusion is challenging because you are trying to stop motion.?Biologics is essential to aid in fusion, despite advantages of 3D printed porous metal implants.?It is now recognized that synthetic alternative to human cadaveric tissue is growing.?Among the synthetics, bioactive glass has emerged as an effective synthetic biologic solution. NanoFUSE Biologics is the first and only FDA-Approved combination of synthetic bioactive ceramic 45S5 bioglass osteobiologics plus demineralized bone matrix (DBM) used for regenerative bone formation, promoting fusion and bone healing. NanoFUSE Biologics, when combined with an aqueous body fluid, forms a 3D ultra porous calcium hydroxyapatite layer for bone formation in as early as 24 hours. Inspan plus NanoFUSE Biologics follows AO principles while traditional pedicle screws do not ! The Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) principles for fusion are a set of guidelines for improving fracture treatment results using internal fixation. The AO principles of fusion include: 1. Accurately and closely fitting the fusion surfaces 2. Positioning the joint optimally 3. Maintaining bone apposition in an undisturbed fashion 4. Removing all cartilage, fibrous tissue, and other material that may prevent bone surfaces from contacting The AO group was formed in 1958 by Maurice E. Müller, who was inspired by the work of Robert Danis on internal fixation and primary bone healing. A major advantage of being an orthopedic surgeon Kingsley R. Chin MD MBA, CEO Spine Surgeon Professor Author is the foundation of our education in biomechanical principles and AO principles for fixation to achieve fusion. It is therefore not surprising when you evaluate Inspan and NanoFUSE Biologics, you will see these principles. Join the LESS movement.

Why Soft Stabilization Makes Sense ! Soft stabilization with Inspan: There is dynamic loading of the facets which stimulates bone formation with just enough stability to allow for bridging bone. Read below to learn more. Wolff's Law of Fusion Wolff's law states that bones adapt to the forces applied to them, becoming stronger or weaker over time. This law was developed by German surgeon Julius Wolff in the 19th century. How Wolff's law works 1. Bones are constantly remodeling, replacing old or damaged bone with new bone 2. When bones are under pressure, osteoblasts produce more bone to strengthen it 3. Bones that are not under stress become thinner and weaker.
