K2M Inc. announced in a press release the Italian launch of the company’s Mesa Spinal System and Serengeti Minimally Invasive Retractor Systems.

Featuring Zero-Torque Technology, the top-loading Mesa Spinal Systems reportedly apply no torsional loads to the spine when locking the screw and offer a variety of screw types, coupled with instrumentation. The systems are designed to address the most difficult correction maneuvers, while providing the surgeon the ability to one-stop lock. The Serengeti Minimally Invasive Retractor Systems have a flexible polymer retractor, which provides direct visualization and access to the screw heads to allow for simplified rod insertion and is inserted with the screw, allowing for one-step, percutaneous placement of the implants.

“The Italian launch of Mesa and Serengeti marks another important milestone in K2M’s mission to be the global spine market leader,” Eric Major, president and chief executive officer of K2M, stated in the release. “We look forward to bringing K2M’s full portfolio of breakthrough products to Italy, as it is critical to our commitment to patient care around the world.”
