K2M unveiled its MESA 2 Cricket, which enhances its MESA 2 Deformity Spinal System.
Here are six takeaways:
1. The MESA 2 Cricket assists surgeons with correction maneuvers in all three anatomical planes to achieve 3-D balance of the spine.
2. The system's 360-degree feature allows surgeons to capture, manipulate and align deformed spines.
3. MESA 2 Cricket does not require reduction screws, allowing simultaneous multi-axial translation and reduction.
4. K2M's flagship platform, MESA 2, features Zero-Torque Technology, which boosts efficiency and eliminates steps without torsional stress on the spine.
5. K2M has transferred MESA 2 3-D correction techniques to its Balance ACS platform, which leverages a 360-degree approach to the axial, coronal and sagittal planes.
6. The company reports surgeons have completed more than 56,000 cases with the MESA Deformity Spinal Systems.
