Carlsmed, Inc., a commercial stage medical device technology company, is announcing today that it has partnered with the International Spine Study Group Foundation (ISSGF), the premier study group on adult spinal deformity, to collect data on surgical treatment with personalized interbody devices.
“Our partnership with the ISSGF and the inclusion of aprevo in the Complex Adult Deformity Surgery (CADS) clinical study demonstrates the importance of clinical data collection in the treatment of patients with adult spinal deformity, ” said Mike Cordonnier, CEO of Carlsmed. “As Breakthrough technology, aprevo has been determined by FDA to provide for a more effective treatment than the current standard of care. We are committed to partnering with thought leaders in the mission to collect data and improve outcomes for patients with debilitating spine disorders.”
“As the only available patient specific interbody technology, this collaboration represents an important opportunity to compare the clinical, radiographic, and health-related quality of life outcomes between traditional stock devices and patient specific interbody devices in the treatment of adult spinal deformity,” said Shay Bess, M.D., president of the ISSGF and orthopedic spine surgeon at Denver International Spine Center in Denver, Colorado.
