Amendia Launches New Corpectomy Device

Amendia Inc., a provider of spinal technologies, is launching its new corpectomy device, the inCORPorate. This latest addition to Amendia’s product offering, provides surgeons with a safe and versatile vertebral body replacement option to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body.

The inCORPorate has been designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior column. Made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) the implant allows surgeons to replace a diseased vertebral body and achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, while restoring the height of the vertebral body.

“The inCORPorate is available for thoracic and lumbar indications,” said Jason Tillett, vice president of R&D for Amendia. “The system comes in two different footprints, parallel and lordotic and 1mm size increments. In addition, it is designed to provide large surface contact areas to decrease the risk of subsidence, tantalum radiopaque markers to optimize placement and anti-blackout ridges to minimize the risk of migration. The hollow core also allows for large amounts of graft material to facilitate fusion.”

“The launch of the inCORPorate VBR System is a key step in offering a full range of technological solutions to surgeons, hospitals and distributors around the country,” said Jeff Smith, CEO. “This launch is another milestone, and continues to strengthen our scientific and business foundations as we continue to grow rapidly and deliver advances in spine care.”

Headquartered in Marietta, Ga., Amendia develops spinal surgical procedure technology. The company was founded in 2008.
