 company formed in December 1996, focused on providing biomedical solutions for medical devices.
We have grown from focusing primarily on the research, development and commercialization of medical devices manufactured with silicon
nitride to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in diverse fields, including biomedical and antipathogenic applications. This
diversification enables us to focus on our core competencies which are the manufacturing, research, and development of products comprised
from advanced ceramic materials. We seek to connect with new customers, partners and manufacturers to help them realize the goal of leveraging
our expertise in advanced ceramics to create new, innovative products across these sectors.

SINTX
Core Business

Biomedical
Applications: Since its inception, SINTX has been focused on medical grade silicon nitride. SINTX biomedical products have been shown
to be biocompatible, bioactive, antipathogenic, and to have superb bone affinity. Spinal implants made from SINTX silicon nitride have
been successfully implanted in humans since 2008 in the U.S., Europe, South America and Asia. This established use, along with its inherent
resistance to bacterial adhesion and bone affinity suggests that it may also be suitable in other fusion device applications such as
arthroplasty implants, foot wedges, and dental implants. Bacterial infection of any biomaterial implants is always a concern. SINTX silicon
nitride has been shown to be resistant to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, making it antibacterial. SINTX silicon nitride
products can be polished to a smooth and wear-resistant surface for articulating applications, such as bearings for hip and knee replacements.

We
believe that silicon nitride has a superb combination of properties that make it suited for long-term human implantation. Other biomaterials
are based on bone grafts, metal alloys, and polymers- all of which have well-known practical limitations and disadvantages. In contrast,
silicon nitride has a legacy of success in the most demanding and extreme industrial environments. As a human implant material, silicon
nitride offers bone ingrowth, resistance to bacterial and viral infection, ease of diagnostic imaging, resistance to corrosion, and superior
strength and fracture resistance, all of which claims are validated in our large and growing inventory of peer-reviewed, published literature
reports. We believe that our versatile silicon nitride manufacturing expertise positions us favorably to introduce new and innovative
devices in the medical and non-medical fields.
