LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced the presentation of new data supporting the use of Orthofix’s proprietary Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) stimulation to increase fusion rates as an adjunct to lumbar spine fusion surgery. Patients treated with the SpinalStim™ bone growth therapy device demonstrated a high rate of successful fusion with significant improvements in pain, function and quality of life, despite having risk factors for pseudarthrosis.
The abstract will be presented by Dr. Marc Weinstein, an orthopedic spine surgeon at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute in Tampa, Florida, at the North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, on September 25, during the Research and Innovation Showcase in the McCormick Place West Lobby of the McCormick Convention Center.
During the NASS annual meeting, Orthofix is also highlighting a variety of new products including the full market launch of OsteoStrand™ Plus C. A 100% bone-derived graft, OsteoStrand Plus C is comprised of Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) fibers and Accell™ Bone Matrix, a dispersed form of DBM that provides immediate release of growth factors upon implantation and increases the concentration of growth factors in the product, and cancellous chips. Used as a bone graft material in fusion applications, the OsteoStrand Plus C features improved graft packability relative to non-chip containing options – for a denser fill and to ensure minimal graft displacement. Additionally, Orthofix is announcing the launch of the M6-C™ Single-Use, Disposable Instrumentation sets, the first FDA-cleared, single-use, disposable instruments designed specifically for cervical disc arthroplasty.
