(NYSE: MDT)
today announced the official launch of its CD Horizon ModuLeX spinal system for deformity procedures.
The ModuLeX spinal system for deformity is amplified and enabled by Medtronic’s AiBLE smart ecosystem. AiBLE features innovative navigation, robotic guidance systems, data and AI, imaging, software and implants. These enable more predictable outcomes in spine procedures.
Medtronic said this launch marks the latest addition to its growing portfolio of lumbar fixation offerings.
The medtech giant said ModuLeX features operative flexibility, with a modular screw platform. This allows users to intra-operatively pick what screw shanks and screw heads they want to use. It tailors the solution to each patient’s unique anatomy.
ModuLeX also offers enhanced visibility, Medtronic says. Its in-situ screw assembly allows for improved visualization of patient anatomy during the procedure. The company touts confidence in assembly, with the system’s screws extensively tested for strength. This ensures a robust, one-way connection between the screw shaft and screw head.
“At Medtronic, we continue to iterate on proven and trusted technologies like the CD Horizon solution of pedicle screws. Building on the 40-year legacy of this system, we are excited to bring the ModuLeX spinal system for deformity to market, strengthening our dedication to a connected, predictable, and advanced OR via our AiBLE ecosystem,” said Michael Carter, VP and GM, Spine and Biologics in the Cranial and Spinal Technologies business, which is part of the Medtronic Neuroscience Portfolio.
Last fall, Medtronic announced a partnership with Siemens Healthineers that included advancements to AiBLE and ModuLeX.
