Spinal Elements launches cervical implants with Ti-Bond coating — 5 things to know

Spinal Tech

Spinal Elements received FDA clearance for a full line of interbody devices with Ti-Bond coating.

"This clearance and launch further establish Spinal Elements' lead in the advancement of new technologies and materials in the interbody spinal fusion space, and will help fuel the excitement and growth we have seen related to our Ti-Bond devices," says Todd Andres, CEO of Spinal Elements.

 

The devices are used in cervical spine surgery. Here are five things to know:

 

1. The Ti-Bond coating consists of titanium with random, unconnected pores mechanically adherent through a plasma vacuum spray process to the inferior and superior surfaces of the PEEK-OPTIMA interbody implants.

 

2. The device allows for direct visualization for the fusion mass through the radiolucent PEEK material.

 

3. The clearance includes Spinal Elements' Crystal Cervical Interbody devices as well as the standalone cervical implants Mosaic and Vertu.

 

4. The products are expected to become available in the first quarter of 2015.

 

5. Spinal Elements has additional clearance for Ti-Bond on laterally-placed implants and will begin introducing that platform later this year as part of an expansion to the minimally invasive surgical solutions.

 

"We believe titanium-coated devices will become the standard choice of surgeons in the coming years and are glad to be the company that surgeons recognize as the leader in surface-modified fusion technology," said President Jason Blain. "This product introduction will join the multitude of MIS solutions that we will be introducing in 2015."
