Minimal Access Spine Technologies (MAST™) for treating painful conditions of the spine, such as degenerative disc disease.
Fusion systems¹ that correct and stabilize abnormal spine curves.
Artificial cervical discs² to replace damaged or degenerated discs in the neck. Our latest disc is made of surgical-grade stainless steel and allows motion so patients can go back to doing everyday activities they love.
Infuse^® Bone Graft,³ a biologic that stimulates the body to regrow bone and is used to treat certain spinal, tibial, and maxillofacial conditions. Infuse Bone Graft eliminates the need to harvest bone from another area of the patient's body, thus eliminating an additional, often painful, surgery.
