Orthofix International launches new cervical interbody system
Orthofix International N.V. announced the launch of the Construx Mini Peek Titanium Composite Spacer System through its spine distribution network.
According to a press release, this anterior cervical interbody system incorporates a unique technology that combines the benefits of Peek’s imaging capabilities with the potential of bone ingrowth from porous titanium endplates.
The implant also features a Peek core, which allows for post and intraoperative imaging without the severe image distortion associated with metal designs. Offering three footprints and various heights to address the cervical interbody fusion solution, these implants work with the Construx Mini Peek Spacer System instrument trays currently in the field.
“We are very excited about the launch of this novel, differentiated cervical interbody system. It represents the beginning of a series of product launches in 2013 that will bring our cervical implant product offering to the forefront of the industry,” Robert Vaters, president of chief executive officer of Orthofix International, stated.
