Centinel Spine Inc., the pioneer of the No-Profile, Integrated Interbody fusion device market, completes Alpha release of STALIF L No-Profile, lateral lumbar Integrated Interbody device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
STALIF L continues the thirty-year STALIF heritage of innovation as STALIF L is the only lateral device to offer the benefits of no-profile, compressive lag fixation with proprietary anti-backout technology and 12-degrees of lordosis. "STALIF L exemplifies our continued commitment to being the gold standard in Integrated Interbody devices," said John J. Viscogliosi, Chairman & CEO, Centinel Spine. "We are excited to bring the STALIF advantage to minimally-invasive spinal fusion surgery," Mr. Viscogliosi continued.
In addition to the above-mentioned STALIF benefits, STALIF L also offers a large chamber for bone graft to support fusion, optimized fixation with easily placed self-drilling, self-tapping screws and a variety of cage sizes to match patient anatomy, including a 12-degree lordotic option.
Robert Kimber, MD, Performance Spine Institute,Gulfport, MS, explained, "Over the past year I have used the STALIF L to treat many of my patients in need of minimally-invasive lateral lumbar reconstruction spine surgery. I like the 12 degrees of lordosis and the fixation provided by the screws."
"STALIF L has the unique feature of compressive lag fixation, which assists me in ensuring that the bony endplates compress the device and bone graft, which I believe to be optimum in accordance with Wolff's law," continued Dr. Kimber.
Centinel Spine also develops, manufactures, markets and sells the complete STALIF product family, which includes STALIF C, STALIF C-Ti, MIDLINE II and MIDLINE II-Ti. STALIF C-Ti and MIDLINE II-Ti merge the proven clinical success of STALIF Integrated Interbody technology with Ti-ACTIVE, a texturized titanium coating developed with over 15 years of science and engineering experience.
Upon the completion of its Alpha release with a variety of minimally-invasive retractor options, Centinel Spine begins to release the STALIF L system to spine surgeons in the United States. For more information on STALIF L, please visit lateral.centinelspine.com.
