Texas-based medical device company SpineSmith landed FDA approval for its VisuALIF challenging access plate system, which could provide surgeons an additional surgical approach option for in-situ graft delivery and a more appropriate plate system for handling anatomical challenges.
The company said the VisuALIF system offers alternatives to the traditional devices, which feature a 2-screw, zero-profile fixation, and its open access allows physicians to visualize the disc space for in-situ implant preparation.
