FIRST IMPLANTATION OF TRYPTIK® CERVICAL CAGE
Geneva, November 16th 2005. SpineArt is proud to announce the first implantation of its TRYPTIK®CA cervical cage. This innovative cage includes a dynamic concept which accelerates fusion, 4 stabilizing fins guaranteeing its stability and preventing it from being expulsed, and an anatomical shape allowing for an easy insertion and a perfect fit between the vertebral endplates. SpineArt expects to roll out a full range of innovative fusion implants before end 2006. Dr.Paolo Mangione, renowned spine surgeon from Bordeaux’s CAD (Centre Aquitain du Dos) said “Today, I realized the first implantation of SpineArt’s cervical cage, TRYPTIK®CA. I was really impressed by the smoothness of the operation as the implant is ideally designed to be easily inserted into the intervertebral space. It was also the first time that I used SpineArt’s set of ancillaries, and was just surprised to be able to accomplish this operation with such a small number of well designed ancillaries. The best part is that they also look really good!”
