Malden, Mass.-based SpineFrontier improved its MISquito Percutaneous Pedicle Screw System.
Here are seven key points:
1. The MISquito system is designed to offer immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as a complement to fusion.
2. Patients suffering from degenerative spondylolisthesis stand to benefit from this system.
3. The system's improved flat blade makes a minimal incision to limit tissue damage.
4. The locking screw inserter cuts out toggle between the implant and instrument.
5. SpineFrontier enhanced the system with a new configuration, REspond-XL, which aids with rod reduction.
6. The company also unveiled the new GEN II Rod Inserter, which is designed to guarantee a solid connection between the instrument and implant, providing for rod and tulip manipulation in-situ during insertion.
7. Orthopedic spine surgeon Kingsley Chin, MD, serves as SpineFrontier CEO.
