Custom Spine Announces 510(k) Clearance for Securis Cannulated Screw System
PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 12, 2012 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Custom Spine announced today the 510(k) Clearance of the SeCuris cannulated pedicle screw system. This system marks Custom Spine's entry into the minimally invasive spine market and will be available for demonstration at the annual meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons being held next week, April 14 – 18, in Miami Beach.The SeCuris cannulated screw system features a chromium-cobalt rod which provides superior stiffness when compared to a titanium rod of the same diameter. The superior stiffness in a smaller rod allows for a lower profile construct without sacrificing strength. In addition, Custom Spine has provided advanced instrumentation for easier implantation while allowing the surgeon greater control of implant placement.
"Custom Spine is excited about this upcoming release of the first of many minimally invasive solutions for spine surgeons," commented Mahmoud Abdelgany, President of Custom Spine. "The FDA clearance of SeCuris represents the successful completion of another milestone for the company and supports our future growth plans."
