Designed to ensure predictable stability in challenging clinical cases, Edge combines the proven Neoss ProActive ® surface and NeoLoc ® connection with a new evolutionary thread design and simplified drilling protocol. Fredrik Engman, Neoss CTO and Founder, said: ‘The detailed engineering of the Neoss ProActive ® Edge implant makes it a truly unique tool for challenging treatment protocols. The aggressive thread design is carefully matched with the drill profile. This allows minimal bone removal and increases insertion torque providing immediate and secure feedback during placement.’ Outstanding primary stability – The Neoss ProActive ® Edge implant has market leading load bearing properties*. The thread and pitch profile is designed for maximum bone-to-thread contact, and in combination with the tapered body, provides immediate feedback during placement. Simplified drilling protocol – The implant and thread designs are directly matched with the twist drills for ultimate ease of use - in most cases only two Neoss drills will be required to place the implant. Minimal bone removal – The optimized combination of the implant design and drilling protocol keeps bone removal to a minimum. With maximized preservation of original bone and outstanding primary stability, this innovative solution is designed for reduced healing times and increased patient comfort. Confidence in challenging cases – The Neoss ProActive ® Edge implant is designed for optimized stability. Expert engineering in combination with it’s tailored drilling protocol ensures confident implant placement in challenging clinical cases with predictable insertion torque. Clinical experience confirms excellent performance in all bone types, extraction sockets, compromised bone situations, and immediate load cases.
