Tsunami Medical Announces the Launch of Ustica, 3D Printed TLIF Titanium Cage with Expansion Feature
Modena, June 3, 2021
Tsunami Medical, among the leaders in Spine technology innovation, focusing on additive manufactured solutions for spine surgery and diagnostic invasive procedures, today announces the launch of Ustica, 3D printed TLIF cage.
Years of cautious research and dedication by Tsunami Medical’s team have culminated with the achievement of a Second Generation of Spinal Fusion solutions. Ustica evolves from the clinically proven First Generation TLIF cage.
“This new solution meets with the standards of successfully proven Bone InGrowth Technology®”, said Stefano Caselli, CEO of the company. “Ustica has a unique multi-direction extension mechanism, which allows cranial-caudal height extension in combination with amendment to the required lordosis angle by individual extension in anterior and posterior direction.”
Peter Witke, CCO of the company: “Solutions with expansion feature show excellent stability characteristics and the cages are printed in one step. Extension of height plus the amendment to lordosis angle, are performed with the same introduction instrument.”
Mr. Caselli concludes: “We consider these a meaningful extension of our TLIF cage family, meeting with international market needs and tender requirements. For further information, please feel free to contact our CCO: peter.witke@tsunamimed.com .”
