Xtant Medical has launched three new spinal implants—two cervical interbody spacers and one plasma coated PEEK implant.
The products were on show at this year’s North Amercian Spinal Society Conference at the end of last month. There are:
- Intice-C titanium cervical interbody spacer – Using a manufacturing technology, Intice-C implants provide all the biologic benefits of titanium without the related concerns of coating delamination possible with coated PEEK implants. With a modulus of elasticity similar to cancellous bone, the titanium architecture is designed to help mitigate concerns of stress shielding associated with rigid titanium implants.
- Atrix-C Union cervical interbody spacer – The Atrix-C Union is a cervical allograft interbody spacer that offers both cortical structural stability and a cancellous centre. The combination of cortical and cancellous tissue provides an osteoconductive matrix designed to create an optimal environment for bone growth, and fusion. The Atrix-C Union allograft is available in three footprints and eight heights.
- Calix-C PC Plasma Coated PEEK Implant – The latest addition to the Calix PC product line, the Calix-C PC implant offers a new 5-12 mm footprint. Consistent with the existing Calix PC implants, the Calix-C PC combines the osteo-equivalent modulus of PEEK with the bone qualities of titanium and offers frictional titanium plasma coating on bone contact areas. With the introduction of the Calix-C PC implant, physicians and patients have more implant size options from which to choose, helping to ensure that every patient has a surgical plan optimised for his or her cervical spine needs.
Kevin Brandt, chief commercialisation officer of Xtant Medical, said: “Even as we celebrate 20 years of meeting patient and physician need in the spine and orthopaedic indications, we continue to develop and commercialise new products that are designed to improve clinical outcomes.”
