According to a brief news release, FortiBridge cervical plates allow for high angulation screw placement with a smooth, esophagus-friendly profile. The FortiBridge cervical plate system offers a full range of short and long sizes in either steam sterilizable or individually sterile packaging formats.
FortiBridge cervical plates are designed to complement Nanovis’ FortiCore cervical interbody implant system, approved by the FDA last fall. The company claims its FortiCore implants are different from other interbody implants due to their deeply porous titanium scaffold. Another distinguishing feature, bigwigs claim, is that PEEK Optima is injection molded into the scaffold for improved integration; the PEEK center gives the implant the imaging and mechanical properties preferred by surgeons.
Nanovis has three advanced technology platforms, the FortiCore platform, an advanced nanotechnology platform, and an innovative anti-colonization and antimicrobial implant platform.
“The launch of the FortiBridge cervical plate system as a partner to our FortiCore cervical interbodies is another important step in Nanovis’ mission to lead our chosen markets with science-enhanced implants that improve lives,” CEO Matt Hedrick said.
Fouonded in 2006, Nanovis develops spinal implant technology.
