A new interbody fusion support system made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) offers an innovative approach to spinal reconstruction during intervertebral fusion procedures. This advanced technology provides a more anatomically accurate solution, improving patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.
The Aleutian Interbody Support Series includes a comprehensive range of systems designed for various surgical approaches, such as anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), and anatomical stenosis (AN). Each system is engineered to closely mimic the mechanical properties of cortical bone, distributing load effectively and reducing stress on surrounding structures. With a wide range of transplant heights, the system can be tailored to fit different anatomical variations.
Radiopaque markers at both ends of the implant enhance visualization during surgery, allowing for precise placement and easier post-operative evaluation. The design also features a hollow interior that promotes bone ingrowth, supporting long-term stability. Additionally, the system comes with specialized tools like spreaders, scrapers, and bone grafting instruments to ensure accurate and efficient implantation.
Developed by K2M USA, the Aleutian intervertebral support system received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to K2M’s President and CEO, this device represents a significant advancement in the treatment of lumbar disc degeneration and spondylolisthesis, offering surgeons a more user-friendly and versatile option for complex spinal procedures.
"The FDA's approval of the Aleutian system underscores its value in providing improved surgical solutions for patients with a wide range of spinal conditions," said the CEO. "This system fills a critical gap in our product portfolio, delivering a reliable and effective treatment option for even the most challenging cases."
PEEK, or polyetheretherketone, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its biocompatibility, strength, and durability. It is widely used in medical devices due to its ability to be molded into complex shapes through injection, extrusion, or compression molding. Its unique properties make it ideal for long-term implants, such as those used in spinal surgery. As the medical device industry continues to evolve, materials like PEEK are playing a key role in advancing patient care and surgical innovation. Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association
