K2M, a global medical device company centered on designing, developing and commercializing proprietary complex spine technologies, technique and minimally invasive procedures, launched its MESA 2 System in the United States.
Here are five things to know:
1. MESA 2 is designed to address difficult correction maneuvers for complex spinal pathologies.
2. Eric Major, president and CEO of K2M, stated MESA will save time by cutting the number of basic surgical steps in half.
3. MESA 2 will consist of a MESA 2 screw, a top-loading, low-profile screw offering a dual-lead threat pattern for quick insertion.
4. It also has an array of easy-to-use reduction and spinal manipulation instruments including The Quicket, an updated, faster version of K2M's breakthrough Cricket rod technology that provides quick on/off capabilities while correcting the spine in all three planes.
5. Thus far, approximately 70 surgical cases have used MESA 2.
