NEW YORK, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Centinel Spine, Inc., (Centinel Spine), the pioneer of the No-Profile, Integrated Interbody™ fusion device market, is granted clearance for STALIF L™ No-Profile, Lateral Lumbar Integrated Interbody system by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration.
“This clearance expands our International No-Profile, Integrated Interbody market,” said John J. Viscogliosi, Chairman & CEO, Centinel Spine. “STALIF has enjoyed a long successful history in Australia and now STALIF L exemplifies our continued commitment to being the gold standard in Integrated Interbody devices. We are excited to bring the STALIF advantage to minimally-invasive spinal fusion surgery in Australia,” Mr. Viscogliosi continued.
STALIF L continues the thirty-year STALIF® heritage of innovation as STALIF L is the only lateral device to offer the benefits of no-profile, compressive lag fixation with proprietary anti-backout technology and 12-degrees of lordosis.
In addition to the above-mentioned STALIF benefits, STALIF L also offers a large chamber for bone graft to support fusion, optimized fixation with easily placed self-drilling, self-tapping screws and a variety of cage sizes to match patient anatomy.
Sam Scott-Young, Managing Director, Orthotech Orthopaedics Holdings, Ltd, Pty, exclaimed, “Orthotech is proud to represent Centinel Spine in Australia. We are excited to receive the STALIF L clearance enabling us to provide this innovative technology to our surgeon customers and their spine surgery patients.”

Centinel Spine also develops, manufactures, markets and sells the complete STALIF product family, which includes STALIF C®, STALIF C-Ti™, MIDLINE II™ and MIDLINE II-Ti™. STALIF C-Ti and MIDLINE II-Ti merge the proven clinical success of STALIF Integrated Interbody technology with Ti-ACTIVE, a texturized titanium coating developed with over 15 years of science and engineering experience.
