A better lateral plating system
NeuroStructures in July 2016 announced FDA 510(k) clearance for its Belvedere lateral plating system. The company says Belvedere offers a number of advantages:
- Optimal placement through adjustable length plates;
- Anatomically contoured plates to better follow the contour of the spine’s lateral aspects;
- More patient comfort through smooth edges and a low profile design;
- A simple, one-step locking mechanism at each level.
The Belvedere is a Golden Mousetrap Awards winner in the materials and assembly category for metals and alloys.
