Expanding Innovations™ (EI), a rapidly growing spine company specializing in NON-SCREW-based Expandable Technology, today announced U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its N-GAGE™ Lumbar Plate System—the company’s first spinal fixation platform as it continues to broaden its procedure-based solutions.
The modular, low-profile construct offers spine surgeons a flexible fixation solution for lateral and anterolateral lumbar fusions. The N-GAGE™ Plate uniquely pairs with the X-PAC® LLIF Expandable Interbody Cage System via a NON-SCREW-based, Polyaxial Coupler. This first-of-its-kind connection simplifies plate-to-cage attachment and allows anatomical conformity to the vertebral bodies, mitigating the limitations of rigid, screw-based-attached lumbar plates.
Ron Sacher, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder:
“This regulatory milestone not only reflects our ongoing commitment to solving persistent challenges that exist in spine surgery. It represents the first of multiple upcoming technologies that will transition EI from a product-based technology company to a complete procedural solutions provider. N-GAGE™ unlocks new revenue opportunities and end-user value to complement our flagship, NON-SCREW-based X-PAC® expandable technology platform.”
