Pina - Our Philosophy

Our corporate philosophy rests on 3 pillars:

Innovative - Quality-oriented - Needs-based

Innovative

We have been one of the first companies in Europe to introduce cervical titanium cages with a specific uncus-retaining and lordosis-securing design. Based on this, we were able to offer a stackable combination system for individual treatment following a cervical corpectomy. We only followed the international trend for non-metallic implants after the introduction of a new material that was especially developed for medical implants by the firm of Oxford Performance Materials Inc., though we were still able to retain the proven design.

Quality-oriented

Our products comply with the obligatory CE and ISO standards. Constant quality checks are performed by the certified body DQS according to EC Directive 93/42/EEC. Furthermore, our implants are subjected to specific biomechanical and finite element tests. All of our employees document the clinical results reported by users. We have been able to maintain our quality standards at a constantly high level ever since our foundation.

Needs-based

PINA develops and sells its products in close and continuous cooperation with spine surgeons. This has two consequences: Firstly, those methods that need the fewest possible instruments to achieve the same functional result with the least traumatic experiences are favoured from the wealth of internationally practiced operation methods. The easy handling of our implants and small number of specific instruments that are needed have proven invaluable, together with their compatibility with the operating instruments available in various hospitals. Our implant sets stand out from the crowd thanks to their rational clarity. Secondly, PINA has been able to maintain its competitive prices with no cutbacks in quality even in times of scarcer resources and increasing marketisation in the health sector. Around 90% of all necessary implant sizes can be delivered on request thanks to biometric data acquisition, and a custom-made service is available at short notice for more uncommon sizes.
