Altamonte Springs, Florida – Eden Spine (www.EdenSpine.com) announced today that it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its new generation corpectomy device, the GIZATM.
The GIZATM is an expandable titanium VBR, with rotatable endplates, that provide multiple angulation options by simple endplates rotation. It is intended to replace and fuse a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to a tumor or a fracture.
“Its beauty is its simplicity” said Mourad Ben Mokhtar, head of Eden Spine’s R&D efforts. He added “What we did with the GIZATM is to create an intuitive spinal system designed to help the surgeon easily implant the device, swiftly adapting its height and its angulation to the patient’s characteristics, hence maximizing the chances of a positive clinical outcome.”
For Guillaume Viallaneix, Eden Spine’s CEO, “The approval of the GIZATM by the FDA is another milestone in the company’s life cycle. The GIZATM is patented, trademarked, CE Marked, and FDA approved. It enhances the company’s technological footprint and ideally positions Eden Spine for long-term growth. A key 2012 objective is to have the GIZATMavailable clinically both in the United States and Internationally via a dedicated network of stocking distributors and strategic partners.”
