CEO Larry Jasinski and other representatives of the Natick, Mass.-based spine start-up showed a video describing their vertebroplasty system to conference attendees and publically parted with a few details of their technology:
Soteira has a cement-directing kyphoplasty system that uses a flexible cutting implement to make a central cavity in the vertebral body and then a stent-like flexible barrier to partially restrict the flow of bone cement.
They now have two-year follow-up clinical data from a small series of Mexican patients and one-year follow-up data from a larger series of German patients.
In fact, with CE Mark in hand, they have begun selling their system in Germany.
