TIDAL Technology™ In Action

Additively manufactured via laser powder bed fusion of titanium or cobalt chrome alloys. restor3d produces all implants using in-house 3D printing capabilities and proprietary manufacturing processes.

Products with TIDAL Technology™

TIDAL Technology™ has revolutionized the way surgical operations are performed by encouraging better fusion using optimized porous architecture designed to guide bone growth through the fully interconnected structure with maximized surface area. TIDAL Technology™ is additively manufactured via laser powder bed fusion of medical grade Titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) or Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) Alloys.

Kinos Axiom® Total Ankle System
Foot and Ankle

Kinos Axiom® Total Ankle System

The Kinos Axiom® Total Ankle System, featuring TIDAL Technology, is the first biomechanically accurate implant providing motion in all three anatomic planes mimicking the movement of a natural healthy ankle. Interchangeable with both flat-cut and chamfer-cut talar implants, the product was designed to help patients who are experiencing pain due to ankle arthritis by replacing the ankle joint with a prosthesis. With a Kinos Axiom® Total Ankle, patients can experience a reduction in pain, better alignment, and increased movement in the new joint.

TIDAL® Cervical Fusion Cage
Spine

TIDAL® Cervical Fusion Cage

Designed for use in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedures, the TIDAL® Cervical Fusion Cage features our proprietary porous technology that encourages enhanced fusion. The cage is available in multiple heights and footprints to accommodate different patient anatomies and paired with sterile packed, disposable instrumentation.

Foot & Ankle Wedge Family
Foot and Ankle

Foot & Ankle Wedge Family

Our robust Foot & Ankle Wedge portfolio contains implants designed for internal bone fixation for fractures and osteotomies in the ankle and foot. This wedge family includes Anatomic Cotton and Evans Wedges, Standard Cotton Wedges, and Subtalar Wedges that are manufactured using laser powder bed fusion of medical grade titanium alloy featuring our proprietary TIDAL Technology™ that encourages better fusion.
