    Spinal Elements Achieves First Karma MIS System Commercial Cases

    Delivers the Karma fixation implant through a 25 mm incision using a single portal.

    Sam Brusco, Associate Editor07.20.22
    Spinal Elements has achieved the first two commercial cases using its Karma MIS (minimally invasive surgical) system, performed by Dr. Pierce Nunley from Specialists Hospital of Shreveport, La.
     
    The Karma MIS system accesses and delivers the Karma metal-free cortico-pedicular posterior fixation implant through a 25 mm paramedian incision using a single portal. It minimizes tissue trauma without using screws and rods with similar fixation to a pedicle screw. Karma MIS employs a single set of instruments and a universal PEEK strap implant.
     
    The system is part of Spinal Elements’ MIS Ultra portfolio that aim to address unintended spine surgery consequences. The low-profile implant compares favorably to larger metal posterior fixation devices, according to the company.
     
    “We are excited to launch our new and innovative Karma MIS instruments,” Spinal Elements CEO Jason Blain told the press. “Traditional pedicle screws are state of the art for instability and deformity yet perhaps imperfect for degenerative disease indications in the lumbar spine when combined with a robust anterior column reconstruction. We believe surgeons and patients alike will notice the value and effectiveness of Karma MIS system as an alternative to metal posterior spinal fixation. As more procedures are done in surgery centers and on an outpatient basis, we think Karma’s unique characteristics and minimal instrumentation required for surgical implantation will make it an attractive solution.”
     
    Dr. Nunley added, “Karma technology is truly a disruptive procedure in supplemental fixation. It has been an exciting journey to work with a great company and engineers to simplify the technique and allow for the device to be safely and reproducibly deployed using minimally invasive surgery techniques. Congratulations to the team for all of their hard work to reach this milestone.”
