Precision Spine Releases Dakota ACDF Standalone System

Precision Spine Inc. launched the Dakota ACDF Standalone System to treat degenerative disc disease (DDD). The Dakota ACDF system features a titanium plate polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage with cortical cancellous screws for maximum support and a generous cavity for autogenous bone graft to help facilitate fusion.
 
“With the inclusion of differentiating dual thread screws and high screw angulations, the Dakota ACDF system offers superior fixation and stability,” said Payam Farjoodi, MD from Coastline Orthopaedic Associates in Fountain Valley, CA. “The unsurpassed ease of use provided by the intuitive instrumentation makes it an ideal system for even the most challenging cases.”
 
“The Dakota ACDF System represents another example of how Precision Spine is making good on its commitment to develop surgeon-designed devices that embody the advanced features surgeons need to help improve OR efficiency and achieve positive patient outcomes,” said Chris DeNicola, COO of Precision Spine.
 
The Dakota ACDF System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C2-T1) at one-or two-disc levels with DDD defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is placed via an anterior approach at the C2 to T1 disc levels. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral fusion device such as the Dakota ACDF System.
