Spineology received a patent for a percutaneous spinal interbody fusion system and performance method.
"Percutaneous spinal access, discectomy and fusion preserves anatomy, more so than any other surgical methodology," said Vice President of R&D for Spineology Karen Roche. "Preservation of bone, nerve and muscle significantly reduces surgical morbidity and can greatly aid the improvement of surgical outcomes."
The patent covers implants and instrumentation for Spineology's anatomy-conserving technology product platform. The surgical procedure using this system requires an opening of less than one centimeter to perform fusion.
"This patent allowance establishes Spineology as the leader in percutaneous spinal fusion technology," said CEO John Booth.
