Welcome to Merlot OrthopediX, a Joint Venture Start-Up between

Cleveland Clinic and Frantz Medical Development Ltd.

Merlot OrthopediX, Inc. is an early stage medical technology company whose mission is to develop, refine and build value into the Merlot bone anchorage technology. The Merlot implant technology can be applied to spine, trauma and general orthopedic applications.

Based on an innovative concept from a leading spine surgeon, Dr. Isador Lieberman, Merlot OrthopediX offers a groundbreaking bone anchorage solution - a patent-protected open helix bone screw. Complimentary technology has been added to the patent portfolio during development of the first clinical application.

With the completion of the first clinical application design, Merlot is now seeking partners for the final stages of commercialization. Merlot is also interested in exploring potential licensing arrangements and collaborative relationships for next generation product development.
