SpineJack® 3, a revolutionary implant for
treating Vertebral Fractures
The revolutionary aspect of the
SpineJack® lies in its ability to restore a fractured vertebra to its
original shape, restore the spinal column’s optimal anatomy and thus
remove pain and enable the patient to recover their functional
capabilities. Thanks to a specialized range of instruments, inserting
the implants into the vertebra is carried out by minimally-invasive
surgery, guided by X-ray, in approximately 30 minutes, enabling the
patient to be discharged shortly after surgery. The SpineJack® range
consists of 3 titanium implants with 3 different diameters, thus
covering 95% of vertebral fractures and all patient morphologies.
SpineJack® technology benefits from the support of international
scientific experts in the field of spinal surgery and worldwide patent
protection through to 2029.
MasterflowTM 2, a
high-performance orthopedic cement delivery system
The
MasterflowTM is an innovative solution for mixing and
injecting orthopedic cement that enhances the accuracy of the injection
and optimizes the overall surgical procedure for treating vertebral
compression fractures. The device provides a better control of the
injection of biomaterials into the spine. A complement of the
SpineJack®, the MasterflowTM stands out for being both easy
to use and precise, particularly in its ability to stop the cement
delivery instantly without inertia. The MasterflowTM
contributes to reducing pain in patients. Its first sales were recorded
in the U.S. in February 2015, and the system has also received the CE
marking in February 2015, a mandatory conformity mark for products
marketed in Europe.
