chorage point to the standard pedicle screw or vertebral claw in cases where the anatomy is not easily accessed – often due to deformities relating to scoliosis. The Liga- PASS provides a solution to this problem by anchoring the rod construct using a ligament band passed through the posterior arch of the vertebra into a double-locking rod
connector.The result is the creation of a hybrid construct using PASS LP’s robust polyaxial pedicle screws and self- stabilising claws alongside the LigaPASS, which offers what is widely accepted by surgeons to be an improved surgical correction with additional fixation points not possible with- out a ligament band option. The LigaPASS is unique to competitive systems as it maintains the ability to achieve a 3D correction including vertebral derotation through the same method of Medicrea’s distinctive derotation technique currently achieved using the Clement Derotation Connector. PASS LP conceptor, Dr Jean Luc Clement, a French paediatric deformity sur- geon based at the Lenval Hospital in Nice collaborated with American paediatric deformity surgeon, Dr Afshin Aminian, of the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, California to design the LigaPASS with Medicrea’s innovative R&D team – all recognising Medicrea’s dedication to improve clinical outcomes and produce responsive, user-friendly systems.
Post-market study underway on the Luna Interbody Spacer System for Degenerative Disc Disease
Benvenue Medical, Inc., a developer of minimally invasive solutions for spine repair, is actively enrolling patients in the Luna Interbody System for Fusion Trial (LIFT). The Luna Interbody Spacer System is designed to address the implant challenges for a true minimally invasive approach to spinal fusion by providing spine surgeons more flexibility in implantation. The System features a small profile designed to expand in-situ within the disc space while allowing the surgeon to customise the contour of the implant to suit individual patient anatomy and surgical preferences. LIFT is a European post-market, multi-center, prospective, non-randomised single-arm study aimed at collecting clinical data on
the effectiveness of the Luna Interbody Spacer System in spinal fusion procedures for degenerative disc disease, which received CE Mark approval in 2010. After the completion of enrollment in the LIFT study, the Luna Interbody Spacer System will be commercially available in the EU later this year.
