Here are 15 spine devices that have been launched or released over the past few months.
Amedica launched its Procet spinal implant for treating patients with low back pain. The implant has a dual-hemispherical shape, which is designed to limit motion while providing distraction, and is used during percutaneous procedures.
Amedica also launched an extension of its Valeo product line, the Valeo VBR, for increased fusion potential during corpectomy procedures. The Valeo VBR uses silicon nitride technology to enhance fusion and is intended for vertebral body replacement of the thoracolumbar spine.
Benvenue Medical, a minimally invasive spine technology company, launched the Blazer Vertebral Augmentation System for treating vertebral compression fractures. The device is designed to mechanically create cavities via multiple channels in the vertebral body to direct bone cement flow for greater predictability and control.
Choice Spine launched its new Starfire Pedicle Screw System, which is designed for increased strength and durability, and intuitive use. The system was developed by a panel of surgeons and includes a comprehensive set of top-loading polyaxial screw implants.
South Korea-based Corentech has launched its wholly-owned subsidiary, Corentec America, which is making the company's pedicle screw system in the United States.
DePuy Spine launched the EXPEDIUM Neuromuscular System to address spinal and pelvic deformity in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis. The system is designed for easy fixation to the pelvis without intra-operative modification of implants or complex rod bending.
Exactech launched the Gibralt Spinal System, which is designed for providing posterior stabilization and an adjunct to cervical and upper thoracic spinal fusion. The system's low-profile pedicle screw with 80 degrees of motion is designed to reduce the risk of tissue impingement in the thoracic spine.
Expanding Orthopedics received a patent for its expandable device for treating vertebral compression fractures. The device is designed for a better anatomical fit and provides surgeons with more treatment options.
German orthopedic and spine device company aap Implantate has received a license for its proprietary injectable bone matrix products used during orthopedic and spine procedures. It's made from 100 percent synthetic, non-particular, phase-pure hydroxylapatite and can be used during trauma and neurosurgery procedures.
At the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery annual meeting in Barcelona, joimax launched new spinal technology, including special blades for the Shrill shaver-drill resection and ablation system.
Medtronic launched the CD Horizon BalanC Spinal System, which has the CE Mark of approval. The system includes a combination of PEEK and silicon materials, and is designed to lower stress placed on adjacent discs during spinal fusion. The system also distributes the fusion material more evenly to the anterior column.
Spine Surgical Innovation has added two new torque instruments to its portfolio: the in-line torque limiter and t-handle torque limiter. The company is the global distributor of the Swivel Port System.
Medical device company ulrich medical USA released two product line enhancements for their growing spinal implant portfolio of expandable cage technologies. The new technology includes a 4.0 mm osminum screw for the ADD plus implant, which is designed to help surgeons replace damaged or unstable vertebral bodies after tumors or trauma.
Ulrich medical USA also released the short locking center screw for its obelisk implant system, which allows surgeons to place the maximum bone or bone substitute materials inside the cage for enhanced fusion.
A new spine device from VG Innovations has been released for treating patients with low back pain. The VerteLoc v2.4 incorporates a series of holes for infusion of the allograft implant interface during spinal surgery. The device is designed for insertion of any type of biologic product into the dual graft chambers for direct host-bone surface contact.
