GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — HAPPE Backbone publicizes that Andrew Iott has accepted a proposal to grow to be the President and CEO. Mr. Iott brings over twenty years of expertise in medical system product improvement and commercialization, with intensive data of the spine market. As a co-founder of Globus Medical, Mr. Iott performed a vital position in taking the corporate from a startup to a worldwide chief in orthopedics.
Dr. Ryan Ok. Roeder, Founder and CTO, mentioned, “The truth that HAPPE has landed an skilled government like Mr. Iott clearly speaks volumes for our worth proposition.”
HAPPE is an rising chief of subsequent technology orthopaedic and spinal implants enabled by the HAPPE™ (HydroxyApatite Porous PolyEtheretherketone) platform. The HAPPE materials platform provides interconnected, cancellous porosity with uncovered hydroxyapatite on pore surfaces to allow sturdy bone in-growth and on-growth confirmed in preclinical testing.
Mr. Iott mentioned, “I’m very excited to affix the HAPPE Backbone administration crew and proceed the event of this progressive platform. The superior bone therapeutic surroundings afforded by optimum biomechanical properties and a porous microstructure, that’s absolutely built-in with hydroxyapatite, is a transparent development in orthopedics.”
HAPPE is making ready to enter the market with the INTEGRATE™-C, a cervical interbody spinal fusion cage, to ascertain scientific efficacy.
Mr. Iott added, “I’m satisfied that the spine and broader orthopaedic business are in search of implants that make a leap ahead in materials science to supply an enhanced platform for osteointegration and HAPPE is that materials.

HAPPE transforms polyetheretherketone from a hydrophobic, bioinert, and non-integrating materials right into a hydrophilic and osteointegrating materials, confirmed by sturdy bone in-growth and on-growth in preclinical testing. The HAPPE INTEGRATE™ interbody spinal fusion system is the primary to supply bone-like cancellous porosity with uncovered hydroxyapatite on the pore surfaces, in addition to porosity extending throughout your entire implant top to advertise endplate-to-endplate osteointegration. INTEGRATE is designed to advertise each load bearing and therapeutic, in addition to superior post-operative imaging. The HAPPE INTEGRATE interbody fusion system thus provides allograft-like qualities in an artificial implant that may enhance scientific outcomes in interbody spinal fusion by overcoming the issues of pseudoarthrosis, subsidence and imaging artifacts that restrict present PEEK and titanium implants.
