LDR公司Easyspine脊柱骨折断端固定系统获得成功

一种背部骨折端端固定系统叫做Easyspine和BF+附属合成骨替代物（包括高度生物配伍的beta三-磷酸钙）在法国由。(Troyes)开发成功。这两种产品目前都已经获得了美国食品药品管理局的许可。

该公司指出：迄今为止Easyspine已经在超过2200例手术中成功使用。产品获得保护的花梗螺丝钉设计，具有整合多轴向功能，提供了平面对平面螺丝钉对螺杆的支点，能够根据不同厚度螺杆进行调节，从而产生不同的强度。这种设计方法产生了许多技术优点，并创造了一个系统使得外科医生手术期间能够有更好的灵活性，只需使用传统融合系统三分之一的器材。除此而外，所有LDR脊柱植入产品都是通过单个包装、标记、以及消毒后送到医院。

与Troyes的LDR医疗公司保持合作，LDR脊柱(Austin, TX, USA)公司做为该公司在美国脊柱产品的分销商。LDR脊柱产品公司的主席兼首席执行官Steve Witelock评论说：“我们对这种产品在欧洲所获得的成功感到十分高兴，对外科医生和脊柱设备分销商对我们所有的脊柱产品的高度评价而感到欢欣鼓舞。”
 
Easyspine Osteosynthesis System
 
A posterior osteosynthesis system called Easyspine and the BF+ complementary synthetic bone substitute comprised of highly biocompatible beta tri-calcium phosphate were developed in France by LDR Medical (Troyes). Both have now been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA).

Easyspine has been successfully used in more than 2, 200 procedures to date, notes the company. Its patent-pending pedicle screw design, with integrated multi-axial capability, provides flat-on-flat screw-to-rod purchase and can vary stiffness by accommodating rods of different thickness. This design approach provides many technical advantages and creates a system that offers the surgeon better intraoperative flexibility while using only one-third the inventory levels of conventional fusion systems. In addition, all LDR spine implant products are delivered to the hospital individually packaged, labeled, and sterilized.

In partnership with LDR Medical in Troyes, LDR Spine (Austin, TX, USA) serves as a distributor of the company’s spine products in the United States. “We are excited by the success these products have experienced in Europe and are encouraged by the enthusiastic response we are getting from both surgeons and spine device distributors regarding all of our spinal product offerings,” commented Steve Whitelock, president and CEO of LDR Spine.
