Camber Spine SPIRA Open Matrix ALIF
Camber Spine Technologies, a designer and developer of medical devices, has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market its 3D printed SPIRA Open Matrix ALIF device.
An interbody fusion implant, developed with spiral support arches and Surface by Design technology, it becomes the tenth of Camber’s spinal implant devices to be released in the American medical market. This latest device was designed to increase fusion rates and provide a more stable solution for patients.
Though not the first of Camber Spine’s products to be released to market, it is the first to be produced with 3D printing technology. The spiral support arches shared the load over the entire endplate, and helped to decrease subsidence. This also enhanced the bone graft capacity. Additionally, the Surface by Design technology produced a rough surface design to facilitate bone growth through an optimised pore diameter, strut thickness, and trabecular pattern. The success of the development of the SPIRA device has convinced Camber Spine to launch a series of them, all manufactured with the help of 3D printing.
“Camber Spine is very excited to be launching our first in a series of spinal implants using additive manufacturing,” said Daniel Pontecorvo, Camber Spine technologies CEO. “This specialised manufacturing technology allows us to create these truly unique patented structures featuring open arched matrixes and proprietary surfaces designed to enhance fusion and promote bone growth.”
“In the coming months, we will be launching a series of five SPIRA spinal interbody cages for cervical, lateral, and posterior lumber spine. Extremity implants and custom implants for salvage and complex deformity implants are also under development.”
The Camber Spine SPIRA Open Matrix ALIF, for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1, is intended to be used with additional FDA-cleared supplementary fixation systems. With the Open Matrix ALIF, and more implant devises to follow, Camber Spine is sure it will provide a comprehensive offering to American patients.
“We believe that the addition of SPIRA and ENZA MIS Integrated interbody devices to our product portfolio creates a foundation of patented implant solutions that will drive the growth of Camber Spine,” concluded Pontecorvo.
