Spinal Elements completed the first two commercial cases with the Karma® MIS system. Karma MIS is designed to access and deliver the Karma implant through a 25mm paramedian incision using a single portal, streamlining the procedure and minimizing the steps.
Karma offers metal-free cortico-pedicular posterior fixation. The system minimizes tissue trauma without the use of screws and rods while providing similar fixation to a pedicle screw system. It provides a simple reproducible procedure using a single set of instruments and a universal PEEK strap implant. Karma is part of Spinal Elements’ MIS Ultra™ suite of products that are intended to address the unintended consequences of spine surgery.
Jason Blain, CEO of Spinal Elements, said, “Traditional pedicle screws are state of the art for instability and deformity, yet perhaps imperfect for degenerative disease indications in the lumbar spine when combined with a robust anterior column reconstruction. We believe surgeons and patients alike will notice the value and effectiveness of Karma MIS system as an alternative to metal posterior spinal fixation. As more procedures are done in surgery centers and on an outpatient basis, we think Karma’s unique characteristics and minimal instrumentation required for surgical implantation will make it an attractive solution.”
