Globus Medical Announces 2,000th Patient Treated with TRANSITION® Stabilization System

December 29, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

AUDUBON, Pa., Dec. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Globus Medical,
Inc., the largest privately held spinal implant manufacturer in the
world, today announced that 2,000 patients have been treated with
its TRANSITION® Stabilization System. TRANSITION, a semi-rigid
system for lumbar fusion, incorporates Globus’ patented
SoftStop™ Technology and provides advanced lumbar
stabilization. The TRANSITION System includes
Hydroxyapatite-coated, multi-axial pedicle screws, PET cords, and
PCU spacers.

TRANSITION’s SoftStop Technology enables the implant to mimic
the spine’s natural biomechanics. When used in conjunction with
interbody fusion, TRANSITION provides more physiologic and uniform
load sharing than traditional titanium or PEEK rods. The TRANSITION
system can also be configured with an integrated metallic rod to
provide a progression of segmental stiffness depending on the
amount of degeneration of each spinal segment.

TRANSITION implants are assembled and pre-tensioned prior to
implantation, thereby eliminating the complexity and variability
that come with assembly and tensioning within the patient.
“Everyone in the O.R. was amazed with the ease and time savings
TRANSITION delivered in my first case,” said Dr. Michael Randle of
Nacogdoches, Texas. “Having an implant that I can simply drop into
place will allow me to reduce O.R. time and surgical trauma to
provide a better procedure for my patients.”

“TRANSITION embodies the goals of Globus’ clinically inspired
innovation with its advanced biomechanics and time saving implant
design. TRANSITION was a total team effort which took years of
development including an unprecedented level of testing,” said
Michael Boyer, Director of Product Development, Emerging
Technologies at Globus. “We are extremely pleased by the products
acceptance by surgeons and the clinical results that they are
having with their patients.”
