InSpace is used for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears and is designed to restore the subacromial space and is a less invasive option than fixation devices or grafts.

The CMS code will cover outpatient hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. The decision was based on findings from a trial affirming the safety and effectiveness of the implant, the release said.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
