Biomet Spine Introduces the Lineum(TM) OCT Spine System Incorporating Game-Changing Translation(TM) Screw Technology
Aug 16, 2012--(Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network)--Biomet Spine today announced that it has received FDA clearance for its next generation occipito-cervico-thoracic system – the Lineum™ OCT Spine System, which incorporates first to market, game-changing Translation™ Screw Technology.Translation™ Screw Technology is the centerpiece of the Lineum™ OCT Spine System. The Translation™ Screw represents the first game changing screw technology since the advent of the multi-axial screw.
Translation™ Screw Technology offers 3Mm of medial/lateral translation to encourage optimal screw placement, requires less rod manipulation, and allows easier rod introduction.
"Commercialization of multi-axial screws changed the manner by which surgeons approached screw placement," said Bill Messer, General Manager of Biomet Spine. "We believe the Translation™ Screw will have a similar game changing impact on posterior OCT spine procedures."
In addition to the Translation™ Screw, the Lineum™ OCT System incorporates numerous enhancements designed to encourage procedural efficiency. These include a broader range of customizable construct options, a new adjustable depth drill guide and new rod reducers.
"The combination of the Translation™ Screw, broader construct options, and new procedurally efficient instrumentation make the Lineum™ OCT System what we firmly believe to be a best in class OCT System," added Messer.
