Neel Anand, MD, performed the first spine surgery with TheraCell's new TheraCell DB Fiber Wrap, according to a Feb. 2 news release.
The wraps are made from demineralized cortical bone fibers and processed with TheraCell's Bone Textile technology, the release said. Dr. Anand used them in a revision procedure involving posterolateral diffusion. He added autograft and TheraFuze FiberForm to the wraps, rolled them to contain the graft material and put them in posterolateral gutters.
"I was very impressed by how easily the Fiber Wraps rehydrated and could be rolled up like a burrito," Dr. Anand said in the release. "It was remarkable how well the sheet held the additional graft materials and I came away with a strong sense of confidence that the graft would stay in place."
