HAPPE Spine has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its INTEGRATE-C interbody fusion system.

INTEGRATE-C, which is powered by the Hydroxyapatite Porous Polyetheretherketone (HAPPE) platform, is claimed to be the first interbody fusion cage that is wholly integrated with porosity and hydroxyapatite to provide a better healing environment.

The interconnected and cancellous porosity facilitates the ingrowth of bone from endplate to endplate. The system is both radiolucent and radio visible for intra-operative and post-operative imaging.

Beacon Health System neurosurgeon Dr Stephen Smith said: “Our team at HAPPE is proud and excited to share this advancement with our colleagues. We have achieved our goal of developing an ACDF that’s distinguished from all other existing devices used for interbody fusion.

“The HAPPE INTEGRATE-C delivers superior radiographic visibility, optimum biomechanical properties for both load bearing and healing and true graft incorporation.”

The INTEGRATE-C system provides various sizes and lordotic angles to meet the anatomical requirements of the patients.
