Alphatec Launches IdentiTi Implants for Lateral Interbody Fusion

The launch of the IdentiTi LIF Interbody Implant Systems follows successful alpha evaluations that began in January 2019. The company has successfully commercialized all of the six IdentiTi Implant Systems slated for release in 2019.
 
The Company also announced the commercial release of the AMP™ Lateral Anti-Migration Plate, as well as the re-design and reconfiguration of its PEEK lateral interbody implant offering, Transcend™.
 
With the expected launch of SafeOp neuromonitoring next month, in November 2019, ATEC is on track to launch all 12 of its planned commercial launches for 2019, executing on its commitment to accelerate growth through clinical distinction.
 
“Each of these products has been purposefully designed to improve lateral spine surgery by the team that developed and pioneered the lateral approach years ago,” said Pat Miles, Chairman and CEO. “Along with the automated objective information that our SafeOp technology will afford when it launches in November, we are bringing meaningful improvement to lateral surgery outcomes. While we are proud of this year’s accomplishments, we know we are only just beginning to demonstrate the prowess of spine’s new Organic Innovation Machine.”
 
Dr. Luiz Pimenta, ATEC’s chief medical officer and the spine surgeon widely recognized as the pioneer of the lateral approach said, “With the release of the IdentiTi LIF line, surgeons now have access to porous metal implants that more precisely mimic bone architecture and function. These new lateral solutions are representative of the sophistication ATEC is engineering to establish new standards for spine surgery, regardless of the surgical approach.”
 
The IdentiTi LIF and IdentiTi LIF-HL Porous Titanium Interbody Implant Systems
“Preclinical studies¹ have shown that IdentiTi LIF’s porous surface provides enhanced initial stability, conforms to the vertebral endplates, and results in bony in-growth and osseointegration, factors critical to improved short and long-term outcomes,” affirmed Dr. Antoine G. Tohmeh, Director of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Multicare Neuroscience Institute in Spokane, Wash. “ATEC’s IdentiTi LIF Implant Systems offer customizable treatment with a myriad of footprints and lordotic options, including 0, 10, 15, 20, and 30 degree hyperlordotic implants.”
