Here are four things to know.
1. Spineology expects the patent to be issued in the next several weeks.
2. The Duo System implant is the first to combine PEEK, titanium and graft containment mesh elements. The design is intended to reduce the access required to implant a device relative to traditional lateral systems.
3. By minimizing the nerve and soft tissue retraction typically required in these surgeries, the Duo System is designed to reduce postoperative thigh pain and other complications frequently associated with the lateral approach.
4. Once filled, the Duo implant is intended to create a large, load-sharing, endplate-conforming graft pack that expands up to 30 millimeters in width to help maintain spinal correction and support fusion.
