SINTX Technologies

SINTX Technologies, Inc. is a ceramics company, which engages in the development and commercialization of silicon nitride for medical and non-medical applications. The company is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and currently employs 32 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2014-02-11. The company is engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of silicon nitride. Its core business includes biomedical applications and antipathogenic applications. The company has been focused on medical grade silicon nitride. Spinal implants made from its silicon nitride have been implanted in humans. 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. Its composition of silicon nitride antipathogenic powder may enable manufacturing surfaces that inactivate pathogens, thereby limiting the spread of infection and disease. The company manufactures advanced ceramic powders and components in its manufacturing facilities based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
