Overview

Osstem is one of the highest-volume implant manufacturers in the world, and much of that volume reaches patients under a different name: in the United States its implants are sold as Hiossen, a subsidiary established in Pennsylvania in 2006. Patients comparing quotes sometimes treat Osstem and Hiossen as rival brands when they are the same manufacturer. The corporate structure changed materially in 2023, when a private-equity consortium acquired effective control and the company left the KOSDAQ exchange, so financial descriptions of Osstem as a listed Korean company are out of date. What has not changed is the product family — the TS line remains the company’s core implant range.

Regulatory record

Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

FDA 510(k) clearance46 records

Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.

Clearance records for Osstem Implant were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Osstem Implant.
