Surgeons performed the first procedures leveraging Expanding Orthopedics' FLXfit15.
Here are four takeaways:
1. EOI reports its FLXfit15 is the first articulated and expandable cage with lordosis correction of 15 degrees.
2. The 3-D cage is designed to offer 4 mm of controlled expansion.
3. In a press release, Marc Weinstein, MD, of Tampa-based Spine Center at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute, commented, FLXfit15 is the "ideal implant for my L5/S1 fusion patients given the reduced size on entry and the need for enhanced lordosis at this level."
4. EOI has a portfolio of expandable spinal devices inserted through a minimally invasive approach.
