Osseus announced FDA 510(k) clearance and launch of the Pisces™-SA Standalone ALIF Interbody System. Pisces-SA can be used with both bone screws and alternative fixation bone anchors allowing for increased intraoperative flexibility.
Biomechanical testing has indicated that Pisces-SA anchors provide better expulsion resistance than the competition and perform comparably with traditional screw-based standalone ALIF constructs in stabilizing injured spinal segments. Pisces-SA is reportedly the first of its kind to provide this level of expulsion resistance and segmental stabilization using an alternative fixation method.
Pisces-SA anchors allow for a streamlined, direct anterior approach which facilitates minimal access and improved operational efficiency.
The platform integrates a highly-porous 3D-printed interbody with anatomical morphology designed for full osseointegration with streamlined instrumentation to facilitate a minimally invasive approach.
