Ortus Expandable Posterior Lumbar Interbody System receives 510(k) clearance from FDA.- Atlas Spine.

Atlas Spine, Inc., a high technology, spinal implant and instrumentation company based in Jupiter, Florida, announced that the Ortus Expandable Posterior Lumbar Interbody System has been 510(k) cleared by the FDA. The device is designed to be delivered using either minimally invasive or open surgical approach. The Ortus PL is clearly differentiated from other expandable technology. For example it has one of the smallest starting heights (6.5mm) of any expandable device on the market, and relies on a unique, patented design that allows for implant expansion while restoring natural anatomic alignment in a single step. The device also features an open architecture that allows the surgeon to pack ample graft material after the device is deployed and expanded.

This is the first implant in a comprehensive line of expandable interbody intellectual property that utilizes anterior, PLIF, oblique, and minimally invasive approaches and devices that the company plans on launching.
