K2M received FDA clearance for its Capri Small 3D Static Corpectomy System, a first-to-market 3D-printed corpectomy cage.
Here are four things to know:
1. K2M has provided 3D-printed solutions for minimally invasive and degenerative procedures in the past; the Capri corpectomy system marks the company's entrance into the 3D-printed solutions for complex spine procedures.
2. Capri is designed to stabilize the thoracolumbar spine when vertebral body resections for spinal trauma and tumor patients. The implant's porous structure and rough surface promote bone integration.
3. The Capri corpectomy cage includes K2M's Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology, which uses advanced 3D printing methods to create structures for spine surgery.
4. The Capri cage joins K2M's Cascadia 3D family of static interbodies and Mojave PL 3D Expandable Cage to feature the Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology.
