Spinal Elements, a spine technology company, announced the acquisition of the assets of Benvenue Medical Inc., a developer of MIS lumbar fusion systems. Among the assets are the Luna XD multi-expandable lumbar fusion device and the Orbit Articulating Discectomy System.
Benvenue had recently introduced the next generation Luna XD system based upon years of experience with a prior generation device. The Luna XD system allows an implant to be surgically delivered through a posterior minimally invasive surgical (MIS) access point and to assume a large footprint previously achievable only via anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) approaches or lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) approaches. The device then expands in height up to 16mm helping restore intervertebral spacing and lordosis and helping achieve sagittal alignment.
The Orbit system consists of articulating and rotating discectomy instrumentation that uses a minimal posterior incision and/or MIS tubular approach to achieve efficient disruption and removal of disc tissue while preparing the end plates for fusion. The novel articulating rotary design allows the working end to evacuate the full area of the disc nece...
