DePuy Spine recently launched the MOUNTAINEER laminoplasty system of implants and instruments for posterior decompression of the cervical spine, according to a company news release.
The MOUNTAINEER system is intended for use in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine to treat spinal stenosis. The system includes a "dove-tail feature" on the plate that allows for a secure flush fit attachment to the instrument. Notches on the allograft provide secure attachment points, and tabs prevent the holder from migrating into the canal.
The system also provides an open-ended plate allowing for a traditional "screw-first" technique as well as different plating options such as inline, inline side-by-side and hinge. The allograft spacers were designed to fit the anatomy and attach to multiple plate sizes.
