The biggest-ever exhibit hall at OMTEC 2025 will be filled with more than 200 orthopedic-focused suppliers that offer various capabilities, including nearly 60 companies that specialize in developing materials and surface treatments that promote osseointegration, increase wear resistance and drive innovation in implant design and performance. For three days in Chicago in June, you’ll have the opportunity to explore bioresorbable polymers, high-strength metals and advanced surface finishes. Here are several suppliers to start with as you’re putting together your pre-conference plan.
4D Medicine
4D Medicine specializes in advanced resorbable biomaterials through its 4Degra platform, a photocurable resin based on unique polycarbonate urethane chemistry. The bioabsorbable polymer offers enhanced biocompatibility, predictable degradation, osteoconductivity and customizable mechanical properties. It also provides manufacturing versatility and enables the high-resolution 3D printing of complex geometries. Learn more about the technical parameters for high-resolution 3D printing with polycarbonate urethane resins and explore compatible printing technologies during the company’s exhibit hall presentation at booth 558.
Arctic Biomaterials
Arctic Biomaterials develops bioresorbable implants with its next-generation X3 Fiber composite, a high-strength, osteoconductive biomaterial that’s designed for load-bearing applications. X3 Fiber’s natural mineral fiber with bioresorbable polymers provide mechanical performance and bioactivity at a low cost. Ville Ella, Arctic’s R&D Director of New Technologies, will present on the company’s technology during a session that will explore the ways materials companies are developing innovative solutions for next-gen orthopedic implants. Visit the company in the exhibit hall at booth 847.Â
CAM BIOCERAMICS
CAM BIOCERAMICS specializes in calcium-phosphate solutions for orthopedic applications and offers a wide range of powders, granules and blocks that are engineered for bone fillers, implant coatings and joint and spinal implants. The company’s synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) powders feature optimized particle size and morphology for plasma coatings, cements and composites like bone and interference screws. CAM BIOCERAMICS also produces porous blocks for bone void fillers and dense blocks made from highly pure HA powder. The company is creating novel calcium phosphate biomaterials and has achieved promising in vitro results from lab-scale materials. Gain more insights into the company’s capabilities by visiting booth 133.
Carpenter Technology
The company offers a broad alloy portfolio that includes titanium-, cobalt-, nickel- and iron-based materials for orthopedic applications. Carpenter’s A-421 stainless steel for medical instruments offers corrosion resistance and can be heat-treated similarly to traditional stainless steels, making it well-suited for producing scalpels, rasps, saw blades and medical drivers. Learn more about A-421’s metallurgy, properties and applications during a presentation at Carpenter’s booth 607.
Fort Wayne Metals
Fort Wayne Metals manufactures high-performance materials that are used in rods, screws, pins and sutures. The company has developed absorbable magnesium alloys, nickel-free Superelastic Nitinol and a beta titanium alloy, along with advanced processing methods that improve the strength, stiffness and fatigue resistance of orthopedic devices. Adam Griebel, the company’s Senior R&D Engineer, will present advancements in metals and bioresorbables that are overcoming the healing limitations of traditional alloys, polymers and biomaterials. Visit the company at booth 612.
Poly-Med
Poly-Med develops bioresorbable orthopedic devices and offers advanced absorbable biomaterials that can be engineered into implants that promote tissue ingrowth and tendon healing. Scott Taylor, Ph.D., the company’s Chief Technology Officer, specializes in material selection and medical device design. He’ll take part in a Tech Center presentation about the ways companies are incorporating materials and additive manufacturing advancements to produce orthopedic devices that improve fixation and enhance healing. Learn more about the company at booth 832.
Precision Coating
Precision Coating delivers advanced surface technologies for orthopedic manufacturing and specializes in high-performance PTFE and anodic coatings. The company’s GlideLine  offers a broad range of medical-grade PTFE coatings that are available in aqueous- and solvent-based chemistries. The company can dial in specific product design parameters, including lubricity, durability and tight tolerances. For aluminum components, the MICRALOX line provides patented microcrystalline anodic coatings that provide corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, helping devices withstand strong alkaline cleaning. Precision Coating will exhibit at booth 825.
Promimic
Promimic has developed a state-of-the-art nanotechnology that makes it possible to create a bioactive surface on any implant. The proprietary HAnano technology enhances osseointegration by combining high wettability, optimized nano-roughness and bioactive surface chemistry. Unlike traditional coatings, HAnano technology allows bone to integrate seamlessly with the implant’s microtopography to enhance mechanical stability. Promimic’s wet chemical process is easily implemented in existing OEM manufacturing lines to provide a scalable solution for improving implant stability and bone growth. Learn more at OMTEC by visiting booth 602.
Vested Metals International
Vested Metals is a specialty metals supplier of titanium, stainless steel, cobalt chrome, alloy steel and high-temp alloys. The company provides titanium, stainless steel, cobalt chrome, alloy steel, tool steel, aluminum and high-temp alloys that are specified to support a range of uses, including implants, instruments, trays and cases for joint reconstruction, trauma, spine and arthroscopic procedures. The company recently opened a 20,000-square-foot facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to stock a broader range of materials and expand its capabilities and product offerings. Learn about the company’s offerings at OMTEC by visiting booth 115.
