SC MEDICA claims a world first: the successful, fully percutaneous, tubeless facet cage arthrodesis. SC MEDICA’s FFX Facet FiXation system was used to treat facetogenic low back pain.
Contrary to traditional minimally invasive surgeries using tubes (MIS), a fully percutaneous, tubeless approach reduces the size of the incision to the absolute minimum required for device insertion, while minimizing muscle dissection and soft-tissue damage. Advanced imaging guidance replaces direct visual control and secures device placement, and paves the way for enabling percutaneous posterior supplemental facet stabilization in anterior interbody procedures.
This achievement fully reflects SC MEDICA’s MiNVI concept – treating patients with the Minimum Necessary Volume of Instrumentation. With more than 14,000 implantations worldwide to date, FFX stabilizes the posterior column through bilateral facet joint immobilization, simplifying the surgical workflow, reducing operative time, and lowering surgical morbidity compared with conventional fixation systems.
