Here are five takeaways:
1. The CASCADIA Lateral Interbody System is K2M’s innovative and proprietary technology that uses 3-D printing with the goal of allowing for bony integration throughout an implant.
2. In addition, K2M received a CE mark for the system, which allows the company to expand the global availability of the product.
3. K2M’s Lamellar Titanium Technology uses an advanced 3-D printing method to create structures that were once considered impractical with traditional manufacturing techniques. Starting with a titanium powder, the implants are grown through the selective application of a high-energy laser beam, allowing for the incorporation of both a porosity and surface roughness that pre-clinical data associated with bone growth activity.
4. The system includes a full range of implant sizes and is designed to work in conjunction with the RAVINE Lateral Access System, offering a full line of instrumentation for the far lateral transpsoas approach.
5. K2M is a global medical device company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative complex spine and minimally invasive spine technologies and techniques used by spine surgeons to treat some of the most difficult and challenging spinal pathologies.
