Providence Medical Technology Inc. has announced its Cavux FFS-LX lumbar facet fixation system has received FDA clearance for use in lumbar spinal fusion surgery, according to a press release.
Cavux FFS-LX is a novel cage and screw system to treat lumbar degenerative disc disease. According to the release, “The implant spans the facet interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct to offer additional stabilization for one- or two-level lumbar interbody fusion.” The system can be used with or without pedicle screws and rods.
“At Providence, we are driven to improve clinical outcomes and prevent surgical failures for high-risk patients,” Jeff Smith, co-founder and CEO of Providence Medical Technology, said in the release. “Cavux FFS-LX builds off our successful cervical platform and applies the same principles to the lumbar spine where the challenge of treating high-risk patients is even more pronounced. We are excited to be launching into the lumbar market and provide high-risk patients a new option for a fusion success,” Smith said.
