Spineology has initiated limited launch of its OptiLIF Endo. The ultra-MIS system needs only one tubular retractor to integrate endoscopes and endoscopic equipment into lumbar interbody fusion surgeries.
The OptiMesh multiplanar expandable implant allows the single tube system to use the smallest diameter tubular retractor of any fusion system available, according to the company.
“OptiLIF Endo provides the power of direct endoscopic visualization throughout the entirety of the procedure, including disc space access, decompression, discectomy/endplate preparation and interbody placement,” Matt Cronin, chief commercial officer of Spineology told the press. “Direct visualization of the neural structures increases efficiency and safety when accessing the disc space, and the robust offering of new, endoscopic-specific discectomy tools included with OptiLIF Endo facilitates efficient endplate preparation under endoscopy to optimize fusion.”
OptiLIF Endo creates seamless transitions between the endoscopic and fusion instrumentation, eliminating exchange of portal tubes or using multiple portal tubes during the procedure, maximizing surgical efficiency and safety.
“I want to thank the surgeon development team and our engineers for developing such an innovative procedure and set of instrumentation that seamlessly integrates two powerful technologies,” said John Booth, CEO of Spineology. “The endoscopic fusion market is gaining significant traction in the U.S. as more surgeons see the value of incorporating endoscopic technologies into their procedures. With OptiLIF Endo, we will lead that market.”
