Kfar Saba, Israel, December 11, 2014 – NLT SPINE, a developer of minimally invasive and percutaneous spine surgery systems, has again been recognized for its innovative vision and its non-linear technology, which has already led to several industry-acclaimed spinal solution awards.
As a company, NLT SPINE is on the list of 2014 Red Herring Global 100 Winners. In the US, the company’s ARC™ Pedicle Screw System for thoracolumbar care has been awarded Orthopedics This Week’s 2014 Spine Technology Award. NLT’s ARCTM system is one of eleven technologies singled out from a field of 40 submissions for “a most innovative, enduring and practical product to treat back pain.”
Red Herring Recognition
This is the second time NLT SPINE has been selected by industry-leading executives, analysts and strategists for a prestigious Red Herring Award. The company’s inclusion in the list of 2014 Red Herring Global Top 100 Winners, both affirms and expands on the recognition gained when NLT SPINE was included in the list of 2013 Red Herring Europe Top 100 Winners in the field of Life Sciences/Biotech.
Red Herring Awards are widely considered to be one of the most successful vehicles for identifying promising private technology and life science ventures, identifying those most likely to bring about sea change in their respective industries. To this end, Red Herring scours the globe scrutinizing the many factors that underpin success, from the vision of the venture’s founders to the disruptiveness of the solutions they plan to bring to market.
Orthopedics This Week
Presented by Orthopedics This Week (OTW) and RRY Publications LLC, the annual Spine Technology Awards recognize exemplary and innovative spine surgery products and the engineering teams and inventors who create them. OTW has again selected another of NLT SPINE’s products, this time its ARCTM Pedicle Screw system, as a leading innovation in the field of thoracolumbar care. In 2011, the company’s PROW FUSION™ Intervertebral Body Fusion devices achieved similar honor. These two separate stamps of approval from OTW in such a short space of time, reflect the ongoing strength of NLT SPINE in its progression towards allaying the problems of invasive surgical treatments of spinal diseases, while solving existing clinical problems and enhancing patient care levels cost-effectively. Perhaps the highest accolade of all is that the judging panel of surgeons, who head many of the top medical, academic and spinal research institutes in the United States, are in effect saying: “I would use the product.”
NLT SPINE is dedicated to innovation in minimally invasive and percutaneous spine surgery
The Non-Linear Technology platform developed by NLT SPINE provides next-generation solutions for the advanced surgical treatment of degenerative spinal disease. The company’s minimally invasive products and systems enable large implants and instruments to be inserted into the spine through small incisions in the body. Its flagship product family, PROW FUSION™, is designed for a full range of PROW LIFTM (Lumbar Interbody Fusion) procedures, for which eSPIN™ is its lumbar disc preparation tool of choice. The company has other LIF offshoots in development, such as the Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) system, PROW FUSION-L™ and its expandable interbody implant platform PROW FUSION-V™. In addition, the award-winning ARCTM system will be soon added to NLT SPINE’s stable of non-linear spinal surgery solutions, affirming the company’s position as a leading innovator in the field of minimally invasive and percutaneous spine surgery.
Didier Toubia, CEO of NLT SPINE, said, “We are thrilled to again receive an award from the orthopedic world for our ARCTM system, the latest innovative component in our MISS platform. Our sights are fully set on reducing the risks and duration of surgery time, the levels of post-operative pain, and the long recovery period–in hospital and at home–that are associated with traditional invasive spinal surgery. At the same time, with a string of successful products coming from our development team, we are keen to take them forward with great speed in collaboration with strategic partners who, like us, are keen to bring closer the future we all believe in for innovative spinal surgery products.
“We see Red Herring’s selection of our company for their 2014 Awards, this time at the global level, as a real leap forward for our company in the global market. Our focus in the coming months will be on forging partnerships to expand our vision to an order of magnitude.”
