From Xtant Medical’s 510(k) extension to Varian Medical’s distribution deal, here are seven medtech stories we missed this week but thought were still worth a mention.

1. FDA extends Xtant Medical’s 510(k) for Calix C spinal implant

Xtant Medical announced in an Aug. 9 press release that the FDA has cleared its product line extensions for the Calix-C cervical inter body cages. The clearance allows for two larger footprints to be added for use with allograft. The Calix-C Cervical Interbody Spacer is designed for spinal fusion procedures at level one in patients who are skeletally mature. It is supposed to be used with spinal fixation systems like Xtant Medical’s Spider Cervical Plating and Certex Spinal Fixation Systems.

2. Life Spine touts first use of TiBow spacer

Life Spine has announced the first clinical use of its TiBow MIS TLIF Expandable Spacer System with Osseo Loc Surface Technology in an Aug. 8 press release. TiBow is designed for in-situ expansion for increased endplate coverage and stability for minimally invasive TLIF and oblique approaches. It gives the surgeon the ability to restore sagittal alignment.

3. Cardiac Science inks deal to supply AEDs to Philadelphia schools

Cardiac Science announced in an Aug. 8 press release that it has reached a deal with the School District of Philadelphia to make automated external defibrillators (AEDs) available in all 220 Philadelphia schools. Philadelphia’s high schools and middle schools already have the Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 and G5 AEDs in place and the elementary schools are set to receive the company’s Powerheart G5 units.
