Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Stryker Corporation’s Spine Division will feature its expanding suite of procedural solutions for spinal surgery, including 10 new products launched in the first half of 2015, during the North American Spine Society (NASS) 30th annual meeting in Chicago, October 14-17.
“This is an exciting time for Stryker Spine,” said Brad Paddock, president of Stryker Spine. “Our expanding portfolio of spinal procedural innovations and differentiated technology demonstrate our accelerated commitment to bringing state-of-the-art technology to physicians and their patients. Surgeons in increasing numbers are choosing Stryker Spine technologies. We will continue to expand and strengthen our leadership position in this segment and are thrilled to showcase our 10 new additions at this industry meeting. We believe these new offerings prove our continued commitment to our customers and future customers.”
Newly launched products, based on advances in access, instrumentation, interbody, fixation, and biologics, include:
According to a recent MarketsandMarkets report, the global spinal implant and devices market will hit $15.73 billion by 2020, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 5.6 percent from 2015 to 2020. A number of factors are fueling the growth of the market, including the rising incidence and prevalence of spinal disorders; development of technologically advanced, safer, and more cost-effective spinal devices; the aging of the global population; the rise in obesity; and a rising demand for minimally invasive spine surgery, the report said.
