CTL Medical Corporation, a Dallas-based medical device manufacturing and service company, has announced that it has reached a national partnership agreement with G-21, an Italian-based biomaterials company. As a result, CTL Medical will now co-market G-21’s bone cement, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty technologies in the United States.
“With the G-21 partnership, CTL Medical continues to fulfill its mission of becoming a fully integrated medical device design, development and manufacturing company serving the practice of spine surgery,” said Daniel Chon, president and CEO. “We intend to begin immediate distribution of the full line of acrylic-based bone cements for widespread procedures necessary for vertebrae consolidation and stabilization.”
The partnership becomes an innovative addition to CTL Medical’s existing spine and orthopedics portfolio, offering limitless application possibilities. The initial implementation of the distribution will include providing the FDA-approved bone cement and accompanying kit for the broadly adopted procedure of kyphoplasty. This procedure involves the surgical filling of an injured or collapsed vertebra to relieve pain caused by spinal compression.
Each of the cement kits comes in the form of a two-component system composed of a liquid and powder, to be mixed at the time of application in the surgical suite. Various mixtures of the cement compounds are flexible in their working time and viscosity, based on the specific need of individual health care providers. The G-21 bone cement kits offer health care providers the maximum level of safety and control of mechanical properties during procedures, higher than typical reference standards.
