SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--X-spine Systems, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of spinal implant systems, announced today that it had obtained FDA clearance to market its new Capless LI ™ Pedicle Screw System. The system builds upon X-spine’s proprietary Capless ™ polyaxial screw locking technology by offering a more compact screw unit, increased screw angulation, screw cannulation and tissue sparing retraction. “The Capless LI ™ effectively addresses the increasing need for reduced tissue disruption during spinal fixation procedures. It allows for several less invasive options for screw placement, including over-wire, mini-open and muscle-sparing approaches. Of course, it includes all the benefits of the Capless™ locking technology, which allows for screw locking without the problems endemic to separate locking caps or setscrews,” states David Kirschman, M.D., president of X-spine. X-spine made the announcement of approval while exhibiting at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting in San Diego, CA. The Capless LI ™ Pedicle Screw System is a key component of X-spine’s growing lineup of unique products for spinal surgery. Based in Miamisburg, Ohio, privately-held X-spine Systems, Inc. is an emerging leader in the development of propriety technology for the spinal surgery industry. www.x-spine.com
