Integrate-C is the first interbody fusion cage that’s fully integrated with porosity and hydroxyapatite, Happe Spine said in an Aug. 14 news release. The company started a limited release of the device.

“The Integrate-C handled extremely well and went right to work,” Dr. Smith said in the release. “The porosity immediately draws blood and any autologous factors into the implant to promote healing. Radiographic visibility was excellent, and once implanted the Integrate-C even looks like bone.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
