NuVasive Launches Titanium Spine Implant Modulus TLIF-O
Zacks Investment Research | Jun 18, 2019 07:27AM ET
NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUVA) recently announced the commercial launch of Modulus TLIF-O, a porous titanium spine implant. The system is designed for the transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedure. The move broadens the application of the Advanced Materials Science (AMS) portfolio to more of its procedural offerings.
More About the Spine Implant
Based on pre-clinical data, Modulus TLIF-O is equipped with a porous surface technology that facilitates bone in-growth and bone on-growth. Also, it can achieve stronger osseointegration compared with solid implants that have smooth or rough surfaces. The porous and roughened endplate design promotes new bone on-growth at four weeks. This marks the greatest integration strength by 12 weeks compared with alternative implant materials. The optimized lattice structure enables enhanced imaging for visualization of spinal fusion compared with solid titanium interbody implants.
Complying to the AMS core principles of surface, structure and imaging, NuVasive continues to innovate design as well as manufacture procedures that combine the intrinsic benefits of porosity with the advantageous material properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium. This provides surgeons with a suite of advanced material implant options that help them cater to patient's needs.
