Elos Medtech achieves a milestone within Dental Implant Systems
Elos Medtech announces that the company has received FDA 510(k) clearance to market Elos Abutment Blanks on the US dental implant market. The Elos Abutment Blank is now a 510(k) cleared class II device to be used for milling of customized abutments for the restoration of single dental implants.
The North American market is of significant importance and is estimated to constitute approximately 35% of the total global dental implant market. The segment of milled customized prosthetics is growing compared to the conventional casting technique and therefore the function of abutment blanks fills a valued position within the evolving needs of digital dentistry. The Elos Abutment Blank is compatible with multiple implant platforms and will primarily be marketed to milling centres and dental laboratories offering modern and efficient prosthetic solutions for their customers.
“It is with great pleasure that we announce our first 510(k) cleared dental product, the Elos Abutment Blank, for the US market. It is an important milestone for Elos Medtech as we take our next strategic steps to embrace the US market“, says Søren Olesen, Managing Director of Elos Medtech Pinol and Dental Business Director. “This is a confirmation of our dental commitment and will serve as a solid platform for the growth of our dental offering in the US.”
