US-based orthopaedic device company 4WEB Medical has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device (ASTS-SA).
The device has an advanced structural design and is the latest addition to the company’s Truss Implant Technology portfolio.

ASTS-SA creates a zero-profile stand-alone construct that removes the need for supplemental fixation by allowing fixation screws to be placed through the truss implant and into the adjacent vertebral bodies.
Typically, the struts in the truss implant transfer strain to adjacent cellular material, which stimulates a mechanobiological response.
In addition, the new design features single-step locking mechanisms.
4WEB Medical Sales and Marketing senior vice-president Jim Bruty said: “The addition of the Stand-Alone Anterior Spine Truss System not only broadens our current offering, but we anticipate this launch to provide significant growth to the organisation for the remainder of 2020.
