Additionally, the Vivigen Cellular Bone Matrix is designed for use in the repair or reconstruction of musculoskeletal defects and for enhancements to the Synapse System of implants and instruments, enabling more surgical options during posterior stabilization of the upper spine, according to the release.

The company’s new education platform was developed to support the new products and includes tailored curriculums and a customized learning experience to address learners’ needs.
