Scient'x S.A., a privately-held company dedicated to the development, manufacture, and commercialization of spinal systems, announced the introduction of the IsobarTM TTL In System, the latest addition to its IsobarTM TTL line of thoraco-lumbar pedicle screw based systems. This system is designed with innovative, user-friendly instrumentation and a top-loading screw solution to complement the versatile osteosynthesis systems that Scient'x provides for degenerative lumbar disease. As one of the company's flagship lines, the IsobarTM TTL In System is fully compatible with the IsobarTM Dynamic Rod.
The IsobarTM TTL In System, which recently received CE Mark clearance, has been successfully implanted in several clinics in Europe. The initial introduction started in Madrid, Spain, where the first surgery was performed by Dr. Manuel Sanchez Vera, Chief of Traumatology at Hospitales Monteprincipio, assisted with Dr. Guijarro. Dr. Vera remarked, "The instrumentation is straightforward and is easy to use. The overall design is a good solution for lumbar degenerative surgeries."
The IsobarTM TTL In System offers a buttress top-loading inner locking nut that provides strong axial resistance and significantly reduces screw head profile. Designed in a collaborative effort with a team of surgeons, the IsobarTM TTL In System has already received favorable reviews from several spine surgeons. Pr. Jean-Marc Vital, Head of the Orthopaedic Department at CHU Pellegrin Tripode Hospital in Bordeaux, France commented, "One of the biggest advantages of the system is its simplicity. The inner locking nut is well suited to the low profile screw and is easy to use. The addition of the system to the Scient'x range is a major enhancement to the Scient'x offering."
Michael Huggins, CEO of Scient'x stated, "We are happy to introduce this state of the art, easy to use system and are pleased to already be receiving very positive feedback. The IsobarTM TTL In System will enable even more widespread adoption of our rigid and dynamic fusion solutions. We are excited to be launching this new system internationally; yet, this is only one of several systems Scient'x will be launching in 2009. We are proud of the progress we have made in support of our core fusion range, as well as, enhancements to our dynamic portfolio that includes the IsobarTM Dynamic Rod and the DiscocervTMceramic cervical disc."
Scient'x looks to drive growth in both their dynamic and rigid fusion segments with the addition of the IsobarTM TTL In System. Over the next few months the IsobarTM TTL In System will be available in over twenty countries and will strongly position Scient'x with multiple innovative solutions for degenerative thoraco-lumbar spine.
