LDR Holding announces distribution agreement for nerve-mapping system
LDR Holding Corporation recently announced it has entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with Sentio to distribute the SentioMMG nerve-mapping system.
SentioMMG smart sensors employ accelerometer technology to sensitively measure when muscle contraction occurs as a means to alert surgeons of motor nerve location. The new system is intended to locate and map motor nerve roots and their peripheral extensions originating from spinal levels C3-T1 and L2-S2, according to a company press release. The technology facilitates minimally invasive access to the spine.
LDR intends for the SentioMMG smart sensors to be used in tandem with its Avenue L lateral lumbar cage with VerteBRIDGE plating technology — which features a lumbar cage optimized for placement through a lateral approach, as well as integrated plate fixation — making the overall procedure more efficient, according to the release.
