K2M launches 3D-printed Mojave PL interbody fusion system

K2M (NSDQ:KTWO) said today it launched the Mojave PL 3D expandable interbody system featuring its lamellar 3D titanium technology. The Leesburg, Va.-based company features a porous structure and rough surfaces intended to support bony integration throughout the endplates of the system.

The Mojave PL 3D expandable interbody system is a first-of-its-kind solution. Designed with lamellar 3D titanium technology, it uses a breakthrough 3D-printing method to allow for bony integration throughout the implant, and its infinite adjustment tools allow me to precisely match the implant to the unique anatomies of my patients,” Michael Donahue of the Auburn Hills, Mich.-based Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine said in a prepared statement. The newly launched fusion device is designed to allow for independent control of the anterior and posterior heights in the lumbar spine, and features infinite adjustment within the expansion range and can be locked at any desired height and lordosis to help restore sagittal balance, K2M said. The device is designed using 3D printing to help create structures the company claims would be “impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques.” “The launch of the Mojave PL 3D ex...
