FDA Clears Atlas Spine’s HiJAK Expandable Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion System

Atlas Spine, a spinal implant company based in Jupiter, Florida, has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its HiJAK Expandable Lateral Lumbar Interbody System. This is the latest addition to the company’s expandable interbody device portfolio. 

“Atlas is on an aggressive development pathway toward broadening its expandable technology platform, and this addition is an important step forward for our growth. The clinical success we have experienced since introducing the market’s first true expandable cervical interbody gives us great confidence as we continue to introduce our future expandable product lines.” said Atlas’ CEO/CTO, Matt Baynham.

The system allows surgeons to adjust the implant intra-operatively to “tailor fit” each patient’s specific needs. The system’s capabilities aid in achieving optimal segmental lordosis and restoring the spine to its natural balance. It was designed with both integrated fixation and without and options that gain up to 30 degrees of angulation.
