Here are five things to know:
1. Mr. McLeer most recently served as Carlsbad, Calif.-based Alphatec Spine’s senior vice president of U.S. commercial operations.
2. LinkSpine president Dennis Farrell said, “Tom’s deep leadership experience in spine and familiarity with novel technologies will be invaluable to us as we continue to expand our less invasive Midline Choice product portfolio.”
3. LinkSpine strives to develop surgical morbidity-reducing solutions that can be placed with minimal fluoroscopy and shorter learning curves than tubular MIS techniques.
4. Midline Choice, the company’s midline fusion portfolio, includes CorticaLink and FacetLink. Each kit includes various screws and devices to allow the surgeon to intra-operatively create a less invasive fusion construct for each patient.
5. Mr. McLeer said, “I was drawn to LinkSpine’s dedicated focus on improving patient outcomes — and it’s innovative portfolio of powerful, yet simple solutions for less invasive surgery. The devices are novel, elegant and intuitive and fulfill a desire for a simple, less invasive approach to lumbar surgery.”
