Blue Ocean Spine is developing spinal cages that eliminate additional screw connections for surgeons, according to a Jan. 12 news release. The company aims to limit the number of implants required in the operating room and streamline surgeon workflow.
The implants are manufactured using 3D printing, which can provide greater cost savings over other implant materials.
SHS Capital, a German company that focuses on venture capital and private equity investments, will “assist Blue Ocean Spine with equity and our broad network,” Patrick Frohnheiser, investment manager at SHS Capital, said in the news release.
