ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Vertos Medical Inc., a leader in the development of innovative, minimally invasive treatments for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), today announced the publication of two-year data from a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-approved study, MiDAS ENCORE. The data affirms long-term safety and efficacy of the mild® lumbar decompression procedure, a clinically proven outpatient procedure that removes the cause of the stenosis through a portal the size of a baby aspirin and requires no implants, no general anesthesia, no stitches, and no overnight hospital stay.

The mild procedure, which received broad coverage from CMS in 2016, has been performed on more than 20,0000 patients, and its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in more than 13 clinical studies and 20 publications. The new long-term data, which appears in the September 7, 2018 issue of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, the official publication of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, showed excellent long-term durability and revealed no evidence of spinal instability or fracture for patients who had the mild procedure. All outcome measures demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement from baseline through two-year follow-up. Additionally, the mild procedure had no device- or procedure-related serious adverse events, and a significantly lower rate of complications than other, more invasive spine interventions.

Authors of the journal article reporting the data, “Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression Procedure for the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Neurogenic Claudication: Two-year Results of MiDAS ENCORE,” also noted that the mild procedure is an excellent early spinal decompression intervention choice for patients with thickened ligamentum flavum. Thickened ligamentum flavum causes narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in pain and numbness of the lower back, legs and buttocks. The study further revealed that LSS patients having additional back conditions such as a bulging disc, facet hypertrophy and foraminal narrowing also achieved statistically significant pain relief and improvement in mobility, noting that the presence of these conditions should not exclude a patient from being considered for the mild procedure.

“Given the minimally invasive nature of this procedure, its safety profile, robust success rate, and durability of outcomes, mild is an optimal early intervention for patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis,” said Dr. Peter Staats, a principal investigator of the MiDAS ENCORE study, lead author of the journal article and founder of the Division of Pain Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. “These results are exciting, and further reinforce the mild procedure as a clinically validated, low-risk interventional pain treatment that directly removes the cause of stenosis, and provides long-term symptom relief.”

Vertos Medical Inc. is a medical device company committed to developing innovative, minimally invasive treatments for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Its proprietary technologies include the mild instrumentation kit, which enables a safe, outpatient, minimally invasive, fluoroscopically guided therapeutic LSS treatment that requires no general anesthesia, no implants, and no stitches. LSS is primarily a degenerative, age-related narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes symptoms of pain and numbness in the lower back, legs, or buttocks. mild treats this condition by restoring space in the spinal canal using specialized mild devices to remove hypertrophic ligamentum flavum through a 5.1-mm treatment portal. Clinical studies show that the mild procedure can help LSS patients stand longer and walk farther with less pain¹, and no major device-related complications have been reported in any clinical trial.² Vertos Medical headquarters is located in Aliso Viejo, CA.

Jupiter, FL, September 2018 – Captiva Spine, Inc., which designs, manufactures and distributes elegant and intuitive spine fusion solutions announced today it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market TowerLOX-EXT® MIS Extended Tab Pedicle Screw complementing its TowerLOX® MIS Pedicle Screw System.

TowerLOX-EXT MIS Extended Tab Pedicle Screw

TowerLOX-EXT MIS Extended Tab Pedicle Screws provide the narrow insertion of an extended tab pedicle screw and the versatility, reliability, and security of a tower-based MIS pedicle screw. TowerLOX-EXT’s narrow insertion path coupled with TowerLOX’s patented articulating rod delivery/reduction options expand the capabilities of the system. Most notably, TowerLOX-EXT allows percutaneous tower attachment after the extended tabs have been removed, establishing a new standard for MIS pedicle screw systems. This is especially important intraoperatively, or for use when extending the fusion at a later date.

Dale Mitchell, President of Captiva Spine, stated “The design rationale and goals developed with our surgeon collaborators guided the creation of TowerLOX-EXT Extended Tab Pedicle Screw. Our intent was to reduce insertion pathway, eliminate counter-torque wound expansion, and retain the versatility provided by TowerLOX’s unique instrumentation for rod delivery, rod reduction, and spondylolisthesis reduction.”

TowerLOX® MIS Pedicle Screw System already supports MIS, mini-open, and open cases with simple and less invasive rod insertion (using patented Pivotec® Technology) and efficient internal/external rod reduction. TowerLOX-EXT screws provide 15mm of controlled built-in rod reduction above the break-off and in-situ tower attachment capabilities provide a MIS rescue/revision option not available with other extended tab systems.

Captiva Spine’s TowerLOX-EXT MIS Extended Tab Pedicle Screw is one of five new product launches that will be featured at Booth 1649 during the North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting held in Los Angeles, September 26-28, 2018.

Rockville, MD, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The orthopedic implants market continues to be a promising avenue in the global medical technology space. Emergence of advanced technologies coupled with rise in orthopedic disorders are major growth determinants for the orthopedic implants market. A recent report by Fact.MR envisions the orthopedic implants market to record an august 6.5% CAGR over the forecast period 2018 to 2027. Although surgeries of orthopedic implants incorporating robotics offer reproducible precision and are less invasive, expensiveness of the technology coupled with the requirement for robust, evidence-based studies continues to impede its adoption in orthopedic surgeries.

The report opines that knee reconstruction will continue to hold major revenue shares of the orthopedic implants market, trailed by hip reconstruction. Governments across the globe are taking efforts to reduce prices of orthopedic implants used in knee reconstruction surgeries. For example, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has announced price caps on the orthopedic implants employed in knee reconstruction surgeries, bringing the basic models’ price down by 65%.

Request For Report Sample – https://www.factmr.com/connectus/sample?flag=S&rep_id=990

Additionally, the NPPA has also passed off most of the margins in trade, thereby alleviating concerns regarding impact of the orthopedic implants’ reduced prices on research & innovation. Such efforts from the government will further underpin growth of the orthopedic implants market in the near future. Orthopedic implant sales for knee reconstruction are envisaged to increase at 6.3% CAGR through 2027, according to Fact.MR study. In case of hip reconstruction surgeries, dislocation of orthopedic implants has prevailed as a prominent concern among patients and healthcare professionals alike.

A recent study carried out by a well-known research director, Geoffrey Westrich, unveiled that patients receiving newer implants, referred to “dual mobility,” has zero dislocation tendency in hip reconstruction and replacement. Researchers have found out dual-mobility orthopedic implants to have no dislocations post three-year follow-up of patients.

Results of the study are considered encouraging to meet active, high demand for orthopedic implants among patients, and are likely to lessen concerns apropos of dislocation. Such novel revelations and discoveries will continue to propel demand for orthopedic implants associated with hip reconstruction. Revenues from sales of orthopedic implants for hip reconstructed exceeded US$ 16,800 Mn in 2017.

North America’s preeminent in the orthopedic implants market will continue to prevail, states Fact.MR study. According to American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), over 7 million America have been associated with knee and hip reconstruction surgeries collectively. Over half revenue share of the market will be accounted by orthopedic implants sales in North America by 2027-end.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a slew of robotic surgery systems for orthopedic implants, with the da Vinci Surgical System being the first one. More companies have been investing in the technology for providing a better navigation during the procedure, and obtain 3D scans to aid designing of customized joints.

Acquisitions and mergers continue to be key strategic expansion methods adopted by companies operating in the orthopedic implants market. Acquisition of Mako Surgical Corp. by Stryker – for total hip and knee construction robotic products for orthopedic implants, and Blue Belt Holdings by Smith & Nephew for robot-assisted orthopedic implant surgery product for partial knee replacements are prime instances of such strategic expansions.

Continues advancements in orthopedics have resulted in the development of new, novel implants, with several of them being employed in clinical practices with none or little evidence on their effectiveness and safety. Appropriate staging of new orthopedic implants implementation is therefore gaining emphasis in the market, to eliminate relevant adverse effects on patients. Methodologies for evaluation of new orthopedic implants are now being used as a base for contemplating their success and resolving observed drawbacks.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Genesys Spine is pleased to announce the FDA clearance of our latest product line, the AIS-C Stand-Alone System.

The AIS-C Stand-Alone system is a first of its kind, non-screw based, zero-profile, direct-anterior stand-alone interbody system for the cervical spine. It was designed to provide the greatest ease of use to the surgeon at every step of the procedure.

Advantages of the AIS-C Stand-Alone System include:

Direct anterior approach – Allows for a smaller, mid-line incision.
Non-screw-based fixation.
Quick, simple, non-impacting anchor insertion – Does not need an awl or drill.
Zero-step locking mechanism – Contains a locking feature that provides visual confirmation of engagement, but allows for anchor removal when desired.
Easily revised or removed – Use of the removal instruments allows the locking mechanism to be defeated so the anchor can be extracted. No drilling is required.

Dr. Matthew Philips, board-certified neurosurgeon and Director of the Brain and Spine Center at SouthCoast Health in Massachusetts says, “The ease of application of the AIS-C Stand-Alone will reduce both my surgical times and the morbidity associated with plate and screw constructs. This advantageous technique has made this my implant of choice for ACDFs.”

“The most significant aspect of the AIS-C design is its simplicity to implant. From a surgeon’s perspective, there’s only one extra step compared to a standard cervical fusion. Once everything is loaded, they simply squeeze the trigger of the inserter and detach from the implant.” -J. Landon Gilkey, Senior Principal Design Engineer, Genesys Spine.

“The AIS-C Stand-Alone system works great from insertion to removal and I think it will remain one of Genesys’ flagship products for years to come.” –Benjamin Keller, Product Development Engineer, Genesys Spine.
