LDR entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with Sentio to distribute the SentioMMG nerve mapping system.
The system includes smart sensors that employ accelerometer technology to sensitively measure when muscle contraction occurs, so as to alert surgeons of motor nerve location. It is intended to locate and map motor nerve roots and their peripheral extensions originating from spinal levels C3-T1 and L2-S2.
"LDR's Avenue L lateral lumbar cage with VerteBRIDGE plating technology is an innovative spinal construct featuring a lumbar cage optimized for placement via a lateral approach and integrated plate fixation that can be inserted without requiring additional exposure," said Sean Parker, vice president of market development for Sentio.
"Adding SentioMMG to the LDR product portfolio completes the offering, makes the entire procedure highly efficient, and delivers full control to the operative surgeon."
