Ulrich Medical's Momentum minimally invasive spine system was used in its first case, the devicemaker said Feb. 14.
Momentum, which is available in a limited release, has 13.6mm diameter screw tabs and removable rings for support, according to a news release. It was used in a percutaneous spine case.
"Momentum MIS performs precisely as a minimally invasive system should," spine surgeon Grant Buttram, MD, said in the release. "It is low profile, yet solidly designed, intuitive with a focus on patient safety, and will be facile to even those new to MIS surgery. Allowing surgeons to achieve strong fixation through the most minimal of incisions, it is a true pleasure to use."
