The Opticage expandable interbody is an integral part of the company’s PerX360 System, which enables surgeons to perform a complete 360° percutaneous lumbar interbody fusion through a two 15mm incisions for the treatment of lumbar discogenic pain.
Professor David Greenwald of the Flagler Brain and Spine Institute in St Augustine, Florida, US, said that using Opticage expandable interbody, the channel for insertion is reduced and will help minimise tissue trauma and decrease the patient overall recovery times. “This is a significant milestone in the progression of making lumbar spinal fusion surgeries less invasive to patients.To my knowledge, no other interbody fusion cage in the market has the expansion capabilities of the Opticage,” Greenwald added.
Interventional Spine CEO Walter Cuevas said they look forward to partnering with surgeons in the US to make the technology available to them in a manner that will benefit their patients.
Neurosurgery and Spine, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US professor Cully White said the approval provides Interventional Spine with a unique technology, capable of transforming how lumbar spine fusion is performed, experiencing less pain, shorter hospital stays and better outcomes overall.
