4WEB Medical Launches Cervical Spine Integrated Plating Solution

4WEB Medical has completed the initial launch of its Cervical Spine Truss System Integrated Plating Solution (CSTS-IPS). 
 
The first procedures were performed by Kris Parchuri, orthopedic spine surgeon at Spine & Orthopedic Specialists in Tulsa, OK, and Jason Alder, Director of Spinal Surgery at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Frisco, TX.
 
Alder commented, “4WEB’s new cervical implant with integrated plate provides an easy-to-use alternative to other standalone cervical implants.  I was able to place the implant at an adjacent level to a previous multi-level cervical fusion without having to remove any hardware from the original construct.  The integrated plate provides a more stable construct compared to a traditional standalone implant with screw or anchor fixation.”
 
The CSTS-IPS is FDA-approved and includes a plate that mechanically attaches to the interbody fusion device, allowing for fusion in a stable environment with robust fixation.  The stand-alone construct is indicated for up to two contiguous disc levels.
 
“I was impressed with the simplicity and ease of use of 4WEB’s new integrated cervical plate solution. The plate has a low-profile, which offers advantages over non-integrated plate alternatives,” said Dr. Parchuri. “By adding a stand-alone, integrated cervical plate system to 4WEB’s existing product offering, the company continues to demonstrate its commitment to further development of an already comprehensive cervical portfolio.”
 
4WEB Medical is also planning a full commercial launch of the Cervical Spine Truss System with anchor fixation in Q3 and the initial launch of anchor fixation for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion devices in early Q4.
