SeaSpine Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SPNE), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, today announced the launch of the Regatta™ Lateral System, featuring NanoMetalene® technology.
Regatta is a comprehensive, minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion system designed to efficiently and reproducibly treat the spine through indirect decompression and the restoration of sagittal alignment. Regatta offers a wide variety of implants to accommodate the patient’s anatomy, including 10 and 15 degree lordotic options for sagittal alignment and 18 and 23mm wide implants for complete endplate coverage. The Regatta lateral retractor and the EMG nerve detection dilators allow for customizable access with minimal tissue disruption through the psoas, while also providing the visualization necessary to effectively perform the procedure. The addition of new streamlined disc preparation and angled instruments to access challenging disc spaces combine to deliver the complete procedural solution.
“We are excited to provide this comprehensive lateral system to surgeons who perform less-invasive interbody fusion procedures that minimize the tissue disruption that typically accompanies traditional spinal fusion surgery. By optimizing each procedural element, from access to fusion, the surgeon can efficiently and effectively treat each patient’s unique spinal condition,” said Keith Valentine, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Regatta interbody devices feature proprietary NanoMetalene surface technology. NanoMetalene is a sub-micron layer of commercially pure titanium molecularly bonded to a PEEK implant using a high-energy, low-temperature process referred to as atomic fusion deposition. It is designed to provide implants a bone-friendly titanium surface on endplates and throughout graft apertures, while retaining the benefits associated with traditional PEEK implants, such as biocompatibility, a modulus of elasticity similar to bone, and excellent radiographic visibility for post-operative imaging.
“The Regatta system offers a variety of sizes and angles of interbody implants to address the majority of patient anatomy requirements and my surgical correction goals. Additionally, the implant’s novel NanoMetalene titanium surface technology may allow for more rapid and reliable fusion healing, and allows me to consider a wider variety of graft materials, potentially reducing the cost of care,” stated Dr. James Bruffey, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, Scripps Health – San Diego, CA.
SeaSpine will be conducting initial cases through a limited launch over the coming months and expects a full commercial launch of the Regatta Lateral System in the first half of 2019.
