Spine device manufacturer Tyber Medical is investigating the use of its titanium interbody fusion devices in cervical and lumbar spine surgery in a new study.
The study aims to provide further clinical data to reinforce the safety and efficacy of the implants for spinal conditions, including degenerative disc disease, stenosis and fracture repair.
Tyber Medical's portfolio consists of titanium-integrated PEEK cages that promote bone growth between the implant and adjacent tissue after spine surgery.
In a news release, Gordon Donald, MD, medical director of the study, noted early osteo-integration of the implants and segmental stability during patient recovery.
"The early structural support being reported in patients will likely lead to earlier bridging bone across the interspace completing the fusion healing process," he said.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and OrthoCarolina Research Institute in Charlotte, N.C., are among the institutions participating in the study.
