K2M announces US launch of Cascadia Interbody Systems at NASS

K2M Group Holdings Inc. announced the launch of its Cascadia Interbody Systems, featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology, during the North American Spine Society Annual Meeting.

According to a company press release, the Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology uses an advanced 3-D printing method to create structures that are impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques. The release noted the Cascadia interbodies and instrumentation facilitate intraoperative efficiency in the restoration of proper disc height and sagittal balance in skeletally mature patients, as well as offer comprehensive solutions for lumbar and cervical interbody fusion procedures used in the treatment of degenerative disc disease, degenerative scoliosis and other spinal deformities. To accommodate the vertebral anatomy, the Cascadia Interbody Systems include a full range of implant sizes, according to the release.

Eric Major, president and chief executive officer of K2M, said in the release, “We believe our success in the 3-D printed spine technology space over the last year represents another strong example of our ability to leverage our differentiated [research and development] R&D capabilities to introduce new and innovative products. Since debuting Lamellar 3-D Titanium Technology and Cascadia at last year’s NASS meeting, K2M has established a leadership position in this innovative and rapidly growing area of the spinal device industry, as evidenced by our growing portfolio of FDA-cleared, 3-D printed interbodies — the most comprehensive portfolio in the market. We are committed to advancing this leadership position with continued innovation and commercialization of our advanced 3-D printed technologies around the world.”
