Spine technology company Expanding Innovations launched the X-PAC expandable lateral cage system.
The cage system is an alternative to the traditional inner cage lifting screw, aiding in foraminal height restoration and facilitating indirect decompression, according to an Oct. 19 news release from Expanding Innovations.
Brandon Strenge, MD, completed some of the first procedures using the system at the Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky in Paducah.
The commercial launch of the product is the first in a series of releases by Expanding Innovations to grow the company's non-screw-based expandable cage technology, the release said.
