ulrich medical USA has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance to expand indications of its Momentum and Momentum MIS posterior spinal fixation systems to be used with G21 V-STEADY radiopaque bone cement, in order to help restore the spinal column’s integrity in patients with advanced-stage tumors.
The spinal fixation systems are used to stabilize, fix, and correct the thoracolumbar and sacroiliac spine. Using them, surgeons can manage adult degenerative and deformity cases, including connections from occiput to pelvis, bone cement augmentation, and revisions for adjacent segment disease in restoration of spinal alignment in open or percutaneous procedures.
"I'm excited that I can now use Momentum in conjunction with V-STEADY," said Alekos Theologis, MD, assistant professor of orthopedic spine surgery at UCSF Health. "Momentum has been a valuable treatment option and this enhancement will be beneficial to a segment of my patients."
"We are pleased to have received this expanded indication from the FDA", added Eric Lucas, Ph.D., VP of technology at ulrich medical USA. "The combination of Momentum with V-STEADY offers our surgeon customers a new treatment option to support their most challenging patients."
