Spinal Elements Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance of Lucent® 3D Additive Manufactured Interbody Devices

Spinal Elements, a spine technology company, today announced the first 510(k) clearance in the Lucent® 3D line of 3D-printed interbody devices.

Spinal Elements, in developing lucent 3D, has taken advantage of the unique capabilities of 3D printing by printing a functionally unique multi-component device in a single printing step.  The resulting Lucent 3D implant is comprised of a strut-and-lattice structure with a bone graft chamber access lid designed to allow the surgeon to deliver a large amount of tightly packed graft inside the interbody structure, maximizing the amount of graft material available for fusion. Furthermore, when the access lid to the graft chamber is closed, the lid is designed to help distribute the loads of the spine in order to reduce the incidence of subsidence by having more surface area available for load distribution.

 With the FDA clearance and upcoming release of the novel Lucent 3D system, Spinal Elements continues its long tradition of excellence and leadership in introducing novel design and materials science to interbody devices.  Spinal Elements was among the first companies to obtain interbody clearance for PEEK devices in 2005 and followed that in 2012 by being the first to apply Ti-Bond®, Spinal Elements’ brand of plasma-sprayed titanium, on the surface of its PEEK interbody devices.

“The FDA clearance of Lucent 3D allows Spinal Elements to differentiate itself in a crowded 3D-printed interbody market.  Lucent 3D’s novel design is meant to address the challenges surgeons have shared with us of other 3D-printed interbody devices – subsidence and the amount of bone graft material available for fusion,” stated President and CEO Jason Blain.  “We are thrilled to obtain this first clearance and look forward to building on this platform to complement our various procedural solutions.”

Spinal Elements is a technology-driven company headquartered in Carlsbad, California. A leading designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative medical devices used in spinal surgical procedures, Spinal Elements combines leading medical device technologies, biologics and instrumentation to create positive surgical outcomes that exceed surgeon and patient expectations. Spinal Elements has built a reputation delivering innovative and differentiated technologies that enable fundamental shifts in solutions for spine surgery. The company markets a complete portfolio of advanced spinal implant technologies.

Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study results add to evidence that neighboring brain regions, the inferior frontal gyrus and the motor cortex, play an important role in such planning before words are said aloud. Both are part of the folded top layers of the brain, or cerebral cortex, which has long been known to control the muscle (motor) movements in the throat and mouth needed to produce speech. Less clear until now was how closely these regions determine the mix of sounds and words people want to say aloud, the authors report.
PolarisAR describes STELLAR Knee as a mixed-reality surgical navigation platform that guides TKA procedures by displaying measured and computed data overlaid directly in a 3D environment. The mixed-reality system acts as a spatial computer, creating continuous data exchange between the surgeon and the software to help enhance surgical decision-making while simplifying operating room workflow.
This February, the first enrolled patient underwent open surgical aortic arch reconstruction at the University of Pennsylvania, Presbyterian Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA.  During the surgery, the Duett Vascular Graft System was successfully deployed to connect the native left common carotid artery to the surgical graft.
"Our ultra low insertion loss Athermal AWG Multiplexers along with temperature-hardened low-drift AAWG specifically designed for the industrial temperature applications will be marketed aggressively through partnership companies in the East Asia and EU regions after its success in the North America," says Dr. Donald Yu, CMO of POINTek, who runs global marketing operations from Los Angeles, California.
AUX-001 is an innovative, once-daily, extended-release formulation of Nicorandil. For decades, immediate-release, twice daily Nicorandil has been a cornerstone treatment for chronic angina symptoms outside the US, distinguished by its dual mechanism of action that targets both the micro- and macrovascular coronary artery flow bed, and providing sustained angina symptom relief without the common issue of tachyphylaxis seen with other anti-anginal vasodilators like long-acting nitrates. AUX-001 offers efficacy comparable to conventional anti-anginal medications such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and long-acting nitrates while also potentially enhancing control of the underlying coronary disease and reducing angina related hospitalizations.
