Here are six points:

 

1. Texas-based Eminent Spine created and manufactured both cervical fusion devices.

 

2. So far, surgeons have used the devices in 244 cervical fusion procedures.

 

3. None of the patients who received the instrumentation needed reoperation.

 

4. Following implantation, none of the patients experienced screw or plate breakage or migration of the cervical cage.

 

5. Eminent Spine designed King Cobra as a low profile, titanium-plating option for the cervical spine, and it has been shown to decrease the incidence of cage migration and vascular injury.

 

6. The Copperhead cervical cage is an alterative to bone grafts and enhances the bond between cage and bone.
