Vexim, the Med-Tech specialist in the minimally invasive, anatomical treatment of vertebral compression fractures, today announced the extension of its SpineJack® range of implants. Two new sizes of implants (measuring 6.5 mm and 4.2 mm in diameter, respectively) will be added to the standard 5 mm size - enabling the SpineJack® to be used to treat almost all vertebral fractures of the spine.
"Although we were already addressing 80% of the vertebral fracture market with our standard, 5 mm implant, we decided to go a step further by completing the SpineJack® range with two new implants", emphasized Vexim's President and CEO Bruce de la Grange. "This range extension is in line with our strategy of not only covering almost the whole spine but also addressing a global market in which we have to adapt our products to local vertebral morphologies", he added.
Presentation of the two new titanium SpineJack® implants:
- a 6.5 mm diameter model (CE marking in progress, with market launch planned in the coming months) for treating larger vertebrae (lumbar vertebras or other vertebrae in large patients).
- a 4.2 mm diameter model (CE marking in progress, with market launch planned in the coming months) for treating smaller vertebrae (notably thoracic vertebrae or other vertebrae in smaller patients).
