Stelios Koutsoumbelis, MD, was among the surgeons who completed the first cases using Centinel Spine's FLX Platform of 3D-printed titanium interbody devices.
Here are five things to know:
1. The implants feature Centinel Spine's proprietary FUSE-THRU trabecular scaffold, which is designed to allow for bony in-growth and on-growth throughout the implant.
2. The FLX devices have both solid and porous radiolucent sections that are designed to reduce mechanical stiffness and improve visibility compared to solid titanium implants.
3. The initial cases included three different FLX devices:
- STALIF C FLX Cervical Integrated Interbody
- STALIF M FLX Lumbar Integrated Interbody
- ACTILIF C FLX Cervical Interbody
4. The STALIF FLX Integrated Interbody devices are indicated for use at one or two contiguous levels with both autograft and/or allogenic bone graft.
5. Centinel Spine is the largest privately-held company dedicated to anterior column reconstruction.
