Here are six insights:
1. The spinal fusion device is called Thru-Faze.
2. Bill Walsh, PhD, of the University of New South Wales Medicine, invented the device.
2. During surgery, Thru-Faze holds the vertebrae in place to thwart painful movements.
3. The device doesn’t incorporate bone grafts, screws or a cage system.
4. Surgeons place Thru-Faze on the spine and the fusion happens as the bone grows through the device.
5. The device is intended to then facilitate fusion between vertebrae.
6. The Thru-Faze will undergo human trials in 2017 at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney.
