SeaSpine Launches Mariner Midline Posterior Fixation System

SeaSpine Holdings Corporation, a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, announced the full commercial launch of the Mariner Midline Posterior Fixation System.
 
Mariner Midline is a comprehensive, less invasive posterior fixation system built upon the Mariner platform to simplify the treatment of a wide range of spinal pathologies. Less invasive procedures are typically associated with reduced blood loss, incision size, and hospital stay compared to traditional open procedures.
 
“The full commercial launch of Mariner Midline expands SeaSpine’s procedural solutions to new markets and leverages the Mariner modular technology to facilitate less invasive procedures,” said Dennis Cirino, senior vice president of Global Spinal Systems. “We are incredibly excited to offer the strength and versatility of Mariner in a comprehensive procedural platform encompassing a true midline access retractor with best-in-class NanoMetalene interbody and biologic options to surgeons performing a midline cortical procedure.”
 
The Mariner Midline system is reflective of the creative product development efforts through the partnership of SeaSpine engineering and a clinically-progressive surgeon design team. The system builds upon the uncompromised strength of Mariner’s thread-on head technology by incorporating novel cortical screws and rod options to optimize the system for the midline cortical technique.
 
“After years spent in search of the ideal posterior pedicle screw system for the minimally invasive cortical approach, it was beginning to look like I would need to settle for ‘good enough’,” stated Christopher Heller, M.D.; Neurosurgeon at MultiCare Neuroscience Institute in Spokane, Wash. “After being given the opportunity to collaborate with the design team at SeaSpine, I can enthusiastically say that the new Mariner Midline system is the no-compromise solution to the unique challenges of midline cortical instrumentation that I was looking for.”
 
Mariner Midline is the latest expansion of the Mariner platform incorporating the core principles of system efficiencies, innovative instrumentation and uncompromised implant strength. This launch is one of several complementary systems launched in 2019 that will expand the clinical applications of the Mariner product family. Combined with the Mariner Outrigger Revision and MIS systems, Mariner gives surgeons a single product platform to perform open, minimally invasive, hybrid, revision and adjacent segment procedures.
