Alphatec Showcases New Technology Offerings at NASS Meeting
Alphatec Holdings (NASDAQ ATEC) is introducing two new technologies showcasing the company’s innovation in lateral access spine surgery at the North American Spine Society Meeting.
First, the company is introducing the Calibrate LTXTM lateral expandable implant system. This technology is specifically designed to enhance precision in achieving alignment goals, lordosis control, and disc height restoration in spinal procedures. At the NASS event, Alphatec Holdings will demonstrate how to apply “lateral access,” prone transpsoas PTP in increasingly complex surgical procedures and how to leverage lateral transpsoas LTP to address spinal levels from L3 through S1, which are commonly treated in spine surgery.
Pat Miles, Chairman and CEO of ATEC, emphasized their unique commitment to improving lateral surgery. The introduction of the Calibrate LTX represents a significant step in advancing their approach to lateral procedures. This innovation equips surgeons with the means to achieve a vital surgical goal, which is precise alignment. Pat Miles emphasized that EOS, a state-of-the-art imaging tool, is the ideal tool for alignment assessment. PTPTM is the most efficient lateral procedure for achieving alignment, and now, the Calibrate LTX expandable implant system excels in driving the alignment further.
The company is also introducing its EOS Catalyst software tool for the EOS imaging platform. The technology offers automated alignment and surgical planning capabilities for spine care. This platform aims to enhance the predictability and reproducibility of spine care, spanning from straightforward surgery to complex deformities, including the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Catalyst is expected to be fully released in 2024.
