In February Becker’s reported on multiple surgeons who debuted spine technologies.
1. Dr. Ardeshir Ardeshiri performed the first case using NGMedical GmbH’s Move-P motion preserving lumbar spine system. Move-P is a pedicle screw-based system designed to top off a spinal fusion. The implant was debuted in human patients as part of a multicenter trial in Germany.
2. Hao-Hua Wu, MD, performed with first case combining Orthofix’s Mariner deformity system with SMAIO’s KEOPS-4ME planning software and patient-specific K-rods, according to a Feb. 2 LinkedIn post. The Mariner deformity system is a pedicle screw platform with modular, threaded technology, and KEOPS-4ME uses radiographic analysis and 3D reconstruction to plan surgeries.
3. C.J. Kleck, MD, performed the first posterior lumbar spine system using Carlsmed’s aprevo lumbar bilateral posterior system.
4. Aaron Clark, MD, PhD, performed the first case with Carlsmed’s corra cervical plating system. The corra plating system is designed to stabilize the spine during fusions and is made with patient-specific plates.
5. Gregory Poulter, MD, a spine surgeon at Indianapolis-based OrthoIndy, has debuted Surgical Theater’s newly cleared SyncAR Spine platform.
6. The Activ-L lumbar artificial disc is back on the U.S. market under Highridge Medical, and its first cases under the company were completed in February, Scott Blumenthal, MD, told Becker’s.
