Life Spine, a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets products for the surgical treatment of spinal disorders, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) marketing clearance for its PLATEAU-LO Insert and Rotate Spacer System.
“PLATEAU-LO is my go-to spacer for micro-invasive lumbar interbody fusions. The oblique lordosis and vast array of footprints cater to the wide variety of patient anatomies I see in my practice. I also find that the bulleted tip allows for very simple insertion, and the insert and rotate feature allows for restoration of disc height. These features are essential for good patient outcomes,” said Rebecca Kuo, M.D., of Joliet, Ill.
PLATEAU-LO is available in PEEK material and is offered in 7 degree and 12 degree lordosis and multiple footprints options.
“PLATEAU-LO is another addition to our interbody platform. By combining PLATEAU-LO with our AVATAR Percutaneous Screw System and the CENTRIC-T Pedicle-Based Retractor System it shows our interest in innovation around micro-invasive procedures and providing our customers with multiple options for optimal patient care,” said Mariusz Knap, vice president of Marketing and Business Development for Life Spine.
