Amedica Announces New Silicon Nitride Product Offering
Amedica Corporation (Salt Lake City, UT, USA), a spinal and orthopaedic implant and instrument company focused on unique silicon nitride ceramic technologies, has launched four new product offerings. The new product additions are the Valeo® OL VBR, Valeo® C VBR, Valeo® Concise Cervical Plating System and Valeo® BP Synthetic Bone Putty.
As the North American Spine Society (NASS) prepared to meet in San Francisco, Amedica was readying its showcase and the launch of the latest additions to the MC(2)™ Silicon Nitride offering of spinal implants, a new cervical plating system and its new beta-TCP bone putty.
Amedica, with the Valeo OL, offers the surgeon yet another option for lumbar spine repair. The Valeo OL couples Amedica's successful hydrophilic thin-walled textured surface with a bulleted nose designed to ease insertion and inferior/superior knurls to guard against migration. The Valeo C exhibits new, improved design features that enhance placement and superior imaging characteristics. The implant also has an enhanced textured surface to encourage bony attachment.
"We continue to be pleased with the acceptance and success of the Valeo Silicon Nitride implants. With the launch of these new products, the new MC(2) Silicon Nitride additions, an exceptional Concise Cervical Plating System and a truly unique beta-TCP bone putty, we continue to demonstrate Amedica's commitment to improving cost-effective patient care," said Ben Shappley, CEO, President & Director.
