Marietta, Ga.-based Amendia launched its new corpectomy device, inCORPorate.
Here are five points:
1. inCORPorate is intended to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior column.
2. The implant is composed of PEEK, and is designed to replace a diseased vertebral body. It allows anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues.
3. It is offered in parallel and lordotic designs.
4. Amendia will reveal the new spinal system at the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves in Orlando, Fla.
5. "It is designed to provide large surface contact areas to decrease the risk of subsidence, tantalum radiopaque markers to optimize placement and anti-blackout ridges to minimize the risk of migration," said Jason Tillett, vice president of R&D, Amendia.
