PEARL, Miss.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spinal USA, LLC announced
today that it will introduce two new additions to the companys portfolio of
spinal treatment solutions at this years meeting of the North American Spine
Society (NASS) in Chicago, IL, November 1-5.

The company will feature its new VAULT™ Stand Alone ALIF
System and S-Lok™ PC Posterior Cervical System, both of which recently received
U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(K) clearance.

The VAULT™ Stand Alone ALIF System, designed for use with
autogenous bone graft, is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine
in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I
spondylolisthesis. It is intended for use at either a single level or at two
contiguous levels between L2 and S1 in the lumbar spine. The new VAULT™ System
is designed to require no supplementary fixation other than the screws
provided. It is intended to provide immediate mechanical fixation to adjacent
vertebral bodies while maintaining a zero profile, and features a large graft
window designed to maximize the opportunity for successful fusion.

The S-Lok™ PC Posterior Cervical System is intended to
promote fusion of the cervical and thoracic spine in skeletally mature patients,
and is indicated for use in the treatment of DDD, spondylolisthesis, spinal
stenosis, fracture/dislocation, revision of previous cervical spine surgery and
tumors. The new S-Lok™ PC System is designed to provide meaningful
intraoperative flexibility for the surgeon. Its components include polyaxial
screws with up to 40º of angulation for placement in the upper thoracic spine
(T1-T3), and an array of lateral offsets, hooks, dominoes, transition rods and
crosslinks designed to provide stabilization to promote fusion in the
cervical/upper thoracic spine (C1-T3).

“These two technologies represent very important product
line additions for Spinal USA,” said Rich Dickerson, Sr. VP Operations for
Spinal USA. “The availability of the VAULT™ System and the S-Lok™ PC System
provides our customers with a wider array of surgical options designed to
improve patient outcomes. By providing a single product indicated for cases
previously requiring up to two separate products, the VAULT™ System has the
potential to reduce surgical trauma and yield a net cost savings. The S-Lok™ PC
System is designed to offer surgeons a comprehensive fixation system with
enhanced ease of use and greater intraoperative flexibility.”

About Spinal Disorders

Degenerative disc disease is characterized by back pain caused by degeneration
of the disc and confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Spondylolithesis
is a condition in which a bone (vertebra) in the lower part of the spine slips
out of the proper position relative to an adjacent bone. The grade of
spondylolisthesis is described using the ratio of the amount of slippage to the
vertebra width and is reported as a percentage.

Cervical and thoracic spine surgery may be indicated for a
variety of cervical spine problems, including degenerative disorders, trauma or
instability. These conditions can produce pressure on the spinal cord or on the
nerves extending from the spine. The goals of cervical spine surgery are to
restore nerve function, stop or prevent abnormal motion in the spine, and
relieve pain, numbness, tingling and weakness.
