Programs

  1. Magnetic spinal applications program instability and degeneration of the spine is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people. Treatments typically involve surgical stabilization with varying results and wide variation in outcomes. In 2020, for began research and development on the magnetic spinal applications program to build on the technologies and apply knowledge gained in earlier related basic science programs. Year 202 activities included further 3-dimensional modelling of optimized magnetic field configurations, simulated implant designs, and their interactions with models of the human body were conducted. Other activities included regulatory filing made and refined and safety and efficacy testing expanded on in response to regulatory feedback. Additional vendors for magnetic materials and coating were contracted and refined devices were manufactured to support the research and development phase and for regulatory requirements.

  2. Scoliosis - magnetic spine application programscoliosis is a sideways curvatcurvature of the spine most often diagnosed in adolescents. The cause of most scoliosis is unknown and termed "adolescent idiopathic scoliosis or ais. The overall goal of the scoliosis spine program is to develop a method to treat ais using magnetic technology to correct spine curvature and prevent scoliotic curve progression. The scoliosis program continued in 2025, expanding on the magnet spine technologies. Major activities included further refinement of 3-dimensional modelling of optimized magnetic field configurations, simulated implant designs, and simulations of their interactions with models of the human body. In addition, protection of intellectual properties that were developed as part of the magnetic spine application program continued in 2025.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
