SHELTON, CT–(Marketwired – October 24, 2016) – Spine Wave, Inc. is committed to the commercialization of high-quality, innovative medical devices for the treatment of spinal disorders. Spine Wave is pleased to announce that it will be fully launching the Velocity® P Expandable Interbody Device system (product page) in mid-November with the arrival of commercial-scale inventory quantities. The company has been a pioneer in the field of expandable spacers since 2008, and surgeons have subsequently implanted over 50,000 Spine Wave expandable devices.
The Velocity® P Expandable Interbody Device is the latest iteration in a long line of expandable devices from Spine Wave and will be prominently featured at NASS. The implant’s low profile allows for a less invasive surgical approach that may result in less nerve root retraction and bone resection. The load-bearing core is made from PEEK, a material well known for its favorable modulus. A unique titanium shell encompasses the implant and enhances its strength, while a plasma-sprayed titanium coating provides the surface texture and endplate interface many surgeons prefer. The controlled incremental expansion with an integrated trial feature is designed to allow surgeons to restore disc height and optimize the implant-to-patient fit. The device has a spacious graft chamber that can be easily filled post expansion utilizing the company’s proprietary guided funnel system. Post-expansion grafting allows for both maximum graft volume and graft-to-endplate contact within the device.
“The Velocity® P Device is the most complex and challenging development project we have ever undertaken, and, based on surgeon feedback received during the limited market release, we could not be more pleased with the results. The Velocity® P Device, when combined with the original StaXx® platform and the more recently launched Leva® Interbody Device, provides us with a market-leading portfolio of expandable implants in what we believe is one of the fastest growing and most strategically important segments of spine,” said Mark LoGuidice, Spine Wave’s Chief Executive Officer.
“I have been a vocal proponent of expandable implants since 2008 and have had an opportunity to use many of the more popular devices available,” said Domagoj Coric, M.D., Chief of Neurosurgery at Carolinas Medical Center. “The Velocity® P device encompasses all the key features surgeons are looking for in an expandable implant. This powerful device has ideal material properties, and it is easy and intuitive to use. When using an expandable device, surgeons understand the importance of being able to pack additional graft material post expansion, and the guided grafting system on the Velocity® is easily the best I have seen.”
