Tsunami Medical is one of the leaders in spinal technology innovation, focusing on additive manufacturing solutions for spinal surgery and diagnostic invasive surgery, today announced the launch of Procida, a 3D printed PLIF cage.
The tsunami medical team's careful research and dedication for many years finally achieved the second-generation spinal fusion solution. Procida evolved from the first-generation PLIF cage that has been clinically proven.
"This new solution meets the successfully proven Bone InGrowth Technology® standard", said Stefano Caselli, CEO of the company. "Procida has a unique multi-[1] direction extension mechanism, which allows the height of the head and tail to be extended, and the required lordotic angle can be corrected by separate extension in the front and rear directions."
Company CCO Peter Witke: "The solution with extended functions shows excellent stability characteristics, and the cage is printed in one step. The height extension plus the correction of the front lobe are carried out using the same introduction instrument."
Mr. Caselli concluded: “We think this is a meaningful expansion of our PLIF cage series to meet the needs of the international market and bidding requirements. For more information, please feel free to contact our CCO: peter.witke@tsunamimed.com. "
Tsunami Medical was established in 1997 as a subcontractor of a large manufacturing company to manufacture invasive diagnostic equipment. Over the years, the company has purchased the Bloodline trademark, which is very well-known in the international biopsy and vertebroplasty spine market.
In 2010, Tsunami Medical began designing and manufacturing selective laser melting (SLM) technology, thus forming the currently available portfolio of implants.
The manufacturing plant is located in the center of the "Biomedical Valley", close to Modena (Italy), covering an area of 1,200 square meters, with modern machinery and clean rooms, conforming to ISO 8, 13485 certification, and capable of designing and manufacturing medical devices.
