The FDA has issued 510k clearance for LDR to market its Avenue L Lateral Lumbar Cage System in the United States.

According to a company press release, the lumbar cage system has an enhanced in-line, self-guided VerteBRIDGE plating technology to facilitate simplified cage insertion. With an inserter that protects anatomical structures while implanting the cage and plating, the Avenue L cage and curved VerteBRIDGE plating are delivered in the plane of the disc through a minimally invasive direct lateral approach, so implantation may be achieved with less exposure.

“We are thrilled to strengthen our portfolio of innovative products and increase our zero-profile spinal fixation options by introducing the first lateral lumber cage with integrated in-line plating into the U.S. market,” Christophe Lavigen, president and chief executive officer of LDR, stated. “The state of the art Avenue L lateral cage represents the latest application of VerteBRIDGE plating technology, which has been successfully used I more than 25,000 cage implantations worldwide since 2008.”
