January 19, 2010 - Medical Device Daily - Product Breifs
VertiFlex (San Clemente, California) said that it has completed the first human implantation of its Shockwave Dynamic Stabilization System – a Dynamic Rod that provides motion while also limiting extension for proper load sharing. The Shockwave Dynamic Rod allows for 4 mm of unconstrained axial translation with an additional 20 of conical rotation. The Shockwave Rod is designed to allow patients a normal range of motion while providing hard stops that limit excessive motion and thereby relieve symptoms.
