Camber Spine Technologies Announces First Implantations Of SPIRA-C Open Matrix Cervical Interbody

Camber Spine, an innovator in spine and medical technologies, announced the first surgeries using the company’s proprietary SPIRA-C Open Matrix Cervical Interbody device, an interbody fusion implant consisting of spiral support arches and Surface by Design technology. The first cases were performed successfully this past week with several surgeons across the country performing multilevel ACDF procedures.
 
“I really appreciate the design of this implant. Upon insertion, I feel as though the cage has immediate stability because of the roughened surface which provides significant friction,” said Dr. Michael Dorsi, M.D., of Ventura Neurosurgery, one of the first surgeon design team members to perform a multilevel procedure using SPIRA-C this past week. “The arched design has large openings which allows for significant graft packing and creates a snowshoe-like effect of distributed load sharing which should decrease the risk of subsidence. The open matrix architecture eliminates the need for the central lumen in traditional cervical cages, potentially speeding up the mechanical fusion process, optimizing clinical and fusion outcomes.”
 
SPIRA-C was designed to address surgeon frustrations associated with traditional cervical interbody devices such as the need for immediate stability. SPIRA-C was developed for Camber Spine under a collaborative agreement with the Institute for Musculoskeletal Science & Education (IMSE), an independent, full-service product development and engineering services company. With an extensive faculty of physicians, IMSE leverages the collaborative balance between engineering and surgeon ingenuity to create next-level medical devices. The SPIRA-C design team included several John Hopkins trained neurosurgeons, all with extensive backgrounds treating complicated cervical pathologies.
 
“Surgeon design team members are a key component to our success. The insight they provide helps us create smarter solutions, maximizing technological advances and ultimately driving innovation in minimally invasive spine surgery,” said Seth Anderson, founding partner and vice president, Surgeon Relations, at Cambe Spine. “We are fortunate to have an esteemed surgeon such as Dr. Dorsi on our team helping us turn surgeon frustrations into innovations. There is a lot of excitement around the SPIRA technology platform and we expect products like SPIRA-C and SPIRAALIF to fuel our continued sales growth.”
 
SPIRA-C is the second in the SPIRA family to employ a novel arched design as well as Surface by Design technology specifically designed to increase fusion rates and stabilization. The spiral support arches decrease subsidence by load sharing over the entire endplate, while also maximizing bone graft capacity. The Surface by Design technology is a deliberately designed roughened surface that facilitates bone growth through an optimized pore diameter, strut thickness and trabecular pattern.
