Yahoo Finance Envista (NVST) Gets FDA 510 (k) Approval for N1 Implant System
Envista Holdings Corporation NVST recently announced the receipt of the FDA 510 (k) clearance for the Nobel Biocare N1 implant system. With a biologically-driven design of components and advanced treatment protocols, the new system represents a significant step in patient-centric dental implant solutions.
Envista is a holding entity of more than 30 trusted dental brands, including KaVo, Kerr, Nobel Biocare and Ormco, among others.
It is worth mentioning that the demand for high-quality patient-centric solutions is higher than ever these days, and the Nobel Biocare N1 system allows clinicians to set a new standard in customizing, digitizing and democratizing the implant treatment experience they can provide patients.
More on Nobel Biocare N1 Implant System
Beyond an implant, N1 is a wide-ranging system of dedicated instruments, prosthetic components and surgical protocols. The system comes with new features, including an implant designed for immediate placement and predictable insertion torques, a trioval conical connection for the abutment to slide into place, and an emergence profile intended for soft tissue maintenance.
The Nobel Biocare N1 system includes the novel feature of the OsseoShaper — an instrument that redefines site preparation and is set to reshape implantology with optimized workflows, greater patient comfort and quick treatment times. This allows to deliver enhanced patient comfort and has shown to preserve vital bones in pre-clinical studies.
