Nexus Spine began the beta launch of its Stable-C cervical interbody fusion implants, which feature integrated anchoring blades.
The limited release bolsters the company’s Tranquil interbody line, which currently includes ALIF, PLIF, TLIF, Steerable TLIF, DLIF, and standard cervical configurations. Tranquil is made of titanium engineered via proprietary compliant mechanism principles to match spinal trabecular bone stiffness. This encourages rapid stability and minimizes subsidence potential.
“Stable-C is an incredibly elegant system,” Dr. Kirk Clifford of Community Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., who performed the first beta surgery, told the press. “The integrated anchoring blades were easily deployed in one step by simply rotating an instrument that attaches to the inserter. I found it to be a big improvement over standard systems that use separate fixating components that add time and fiddle factor to my surgeries. I have been using various configurations of the Tranquil product line for quite some time and have experienced excellent results. My patients report early postoperative clinical improvement with radiographs that demonstrate rapid Tranquil integration and dynamic stability. I am excited to add Stable-C into my practice.”
Stable-C was designed by Jeffrey Hoskins, MD of the Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton, Ohio, with the aim of combining intraoperative ease-of-use with robust fixation.
“I believe we accomplished our goals with the recent tweaks we have made to the system,” commented Dr. Hoskins. “The anchoring and deployment design features are a perfect complement to the inherent advantages of the Tranquil matrix. I expect my Stable-C patients to do extremely well.”
