Peter Derman, MD, and Alexander Satin, MD, performed the first cases with the 3D-printed device, according to a news release. Solar AM is designed for anterior lumbar interbody fusions and comes in a variety of sizes and lordotic options. It uses DeGen Medical’s proprietary PuriTI material, a 3D-printed titanium.
“Solar ALIF incorporates a proprietary additive manufacturing process and superior instrumentation that will be the new industry standard,” Scott Blumenthal, MD, a spine surgeon with Texas Back Institute, said in the release. “The enhanced imaging characteristics compared to standard titanium implants is a major advantage by generating less image artifact.”
