Impliant’s Tops spine system less-invasive version features a reduced L5 crossbar configuration that the company feels will further reduce tissue retraction and operative time during Tops implantation.
Impliant said that it is applying cutting-edge materials and crossbar biomechanical techniques to develop a new class of spine arthroplasty devices that target over 40% of the patients worldwide who undergo fusion surgery and could benefit from a total posterior arthroplasty solution.
Andrew Shepherd, vice president of sales and marketing at Impliant, said: “We are pleased to add this less-invasive option to our Tops family of products. This line extension is a result of input we received from our Tops investigators to help further improve the ease of insertion of the device.”
