Disposable Instrument Kit Facilitates Fixation Procedures
By HospiMedica International staff writers Posted on 01 Feb 2015 |
A fully disposable spine implant fixation instrument kit simplifies workflow by eliminating the need to clean and reprocess instruments prior to every procedure.
The ECA Medical Instruments (Thousand Oaks, CA, USA) disposable tool kit contains awls, pedicle probes, driver shafts, cannulated torque-limiting handles, a ratchet, and a fixed driver. The specialized instruments can be used to perform both open and minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) in both inpatient and outpatient facilities. The fixation kit is intended for use with the Intelligent Implant Systems (IIS; Charlotte, NC, USA) Revolution Spinal System, with the spine implants and instruments packaged together as a bundled solution.
“This single tray of instruments is game changing for our industry and FDA approval signals a new era is taking hold with potential to transform healthcare economics,” said John Nino, president and CEO of ECA Medical Instruments. “Surgeons, hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and patients all benefit from cost savings, increased safety, and superb outcomes. The IIS Revolution set with ECA’s instruments was designed to make that sustained and measurable value a reality.”
The IIS Revolution Spinal System provides immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The system offers a simplified design for posterior spinal fixation implant of single or two-level constructs, using a pre-sterile implant and instrument set combination to increase productivity, reduce operational cost, insure accurate implant fixation, and curb risk of surgical site infection (SSI).
“We are excited to be launching the Revolution Spinal System, and the feedback from surgeons, distributors, OR staff, and sales people has been exceptional,” said Marc Richelsoph, president and CEO of Intelligent Implant Systems. “By providing sterile state-of-the-art implants combined with a single sterile tray of disposable instruments by ECA, we are leading the way to a better approach for spinal surgery.”
