DePuy Synthes Products Inc. announced an asset purchase and development agreement with Interventional Spine Inc. for its expandable cage technology.
According to a press release, the agreement will allow DePuy Synthes to add expandable cages to its spine platform. The expandable cage technology provided by Interventional Spine reportedly offers tactile feedback for surgeons and allows them to customize the device height to the patient’s anatomy. In addition, the implants reportedly maximize bone graft contact and containment, which promotes both bone growth and fusion.
“DePuy Synthes and Interventional Spine have a common goal — advancing spinal care for patients with debilitating degenerative disc disease and expanding access to this important technology globally,” Ciro Römer, company group chairman, DePuy Synthes, said in the release. “Through this collaboration with Interventional Spine, we will broaden our product offering in a strategic platform and reach more customers and patients around the world.”
According to the release, DePuy Synthes will also acquire a facet screw system for open and percutaneous spine surgery from Interventional Spine.
