Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Life Spine Inc. has earned 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its Iris anterior cervical plate (ACP) system.
Iris incorporates a low profile plate with a zero-step integrated nitinol locking mechanism. Nitinol is an alloy of nickel and titanium that possesses shape-memory properties. According to the company, the system promotes tactile and visual confirmations of final screw placement while simplifying instrumentation for intraoperative techniques.
“The Iris ACP System adds to our comprehensive portfolio of intuitive cervical plating systems,” said Rita K. Patel, Life Spine’s director of marketing stated. “This system will minimize steps and surgical time while providing reassurance in screw placement.”
Iris is the sixth anterior cervical plate system within Life Spine’s cervical platform, which consists of three static systems (Neo, Neo-Sl, Neo-Ul) and two internally dynamizing systems (Kinetic and Kinetic-Sl).
Life Spine makes surgical products or spinal disorders.
