The EDGE Medica Project Spotlight

The US Spine Facet Fixation System

In close cooperation with US Spine, EDGE Medica’s engineers and designers solved the challenging problem of creating a delivery device design that would be able to handle the multiple tasks involved in performing minimally-invasive insertion of facet screws during spinal surgery.  Design considerations for the device to withstand the rigorous facet torque and device clamping force requirements that are involved in this type of implant required extensive engineering and risk analysis to assure reliability and meet cost constraints.

US Spine is a surgeon-focused and science-driven spinal implant and device manufacturing company. Their Facet Fixation System is a single use, disposable product providing trans-facet fixation as a means of posterior stabilization.  It will be for minimally-invasive or open approaches and will be adaptable to each level of the lumbar spine.
