With U.S. headquarters in Atlanta, Expanding Orthopedics received a U.S. patent for its 3D expandable cage technology integrated in the FLXfit.
Here are three takeaways:
1. This is the 14th U.S. patent the company has obtained thus far.
2. EOI is a medical device company that creates and markets spinal surgery devices.
3. Mark M. Levy, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, chief technology officer and founder of EOI, said the patent specifically refers to the cage's multiple design segments with its "articulation mechanism and the unique angular expansion for dial-in lordosis correction, conforming to the patient's anatomy and level treated."
