Zavation releases In-Vitro and In-Vivo Research Summary for its novel LABYRINTH™.

Labyrinth™ In-Vitro and In-Vivo Research Study

LABYRINTH™, features the first available porous endplates integrated through the full cage, setting the new gold standard for interbody cages. In creating the first fully porous PEEK interbody, Zavation has enhanced the benefits of PEEK (reduced stress shielding and artifact-free imaging) with substantially improved wettability and surface tension. In a 21 day in-vitro study, the interbody’s proprietary and patent pending porous structure demonstrated greater pre-osteoblast cell maturation into viable bone cells than standard PEEK, porous titanium, and standard titanium.The Labyrinth™ technology possessed higher fusion and quality of fusion grades at 12- and 26-weeks post-op when compared to solid PEEK and proved to obtain new bone formation throughout porous structure.2

Sonny Gill, M.D. stated, “The Zavation Labyrinth cervical interbody allows bony ingrowth THROUGH the interbody instead of only the central window while also incorporating the peripheral structure of the cage.  This unique ability adds to the fusion surface area instead of only a spot weld or a bony ongrowth at the bone/interbody margin.  The enhanced fusion capability has the potential for reducing nonunions in multiple cervical applications.”

Zavation’s market share and active surgeon base continues to rapidly grow given the Company’s ability to adapt to surgeon/patient needs, consistently upgrade and customize its instruments, and engineer devices with incomparable simplicity, precision, and disruptive technology. The LABYRINTH™ is just another example of Zavation’s sustained investment in research and development furthering its full line of titanium and PEEK static and expanding interbody technologies.

“The LABYRINTH™ demonstrates our commitment to resetting market standards by creating best-in-class products. As a first-to-market product, this fully porous cage highlights our dedication to R&D and the strength of our product development team,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Chief Executive Officer. “With fusion of critical importance, our mission in designing the LABYRINTH™ was to outperform all materials in fusion, which broadens surgeon appeal. Zavation, with our market leading customer service, has become a house for innovation centered on the needs of our surgeons and distributors.”

The eZspand™ Lateral, part of the Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System, features unmatched expandable precision paired with continual expansion to provide an optimized fit for each patient. This optimized fit allows for enhancement of structural stability and improved sagittal balance. eZspand™ Lateral does not require secondary locking, minimizing procedural steps. The cage has up to 15° lordosis and the ability to back fill with bone graft. Each implant expands to 6mm from the insertion height to create a large graft window that facilitates fusion. The benefits of continuous height adjustment, up to 6mm expansion paired with no secondary locking step, separate eZspand™ Lateral from its competitors.

Zavation’s market share and active surgeon base continues to rapidly grow given the Company’s ability to adapt to surgeon/patient needs, consistently upgrade its instruments, and engineer devices with incomparable simplicity and precision. Zavation’s sustained investment in research and development will further enhance its expandable technologies and accelerate market share and active surgeon base gains.

“Our product development team’s dedication to creatively blending simplicity and precision in a robust product design has produced an expandable product that we believe is the new gold standard in facilitating patient fusion in a seamless and simplified procedure,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Chief Executive Officer. “With restoration of alignment being of critical importance, the eZspand™ Lateral was developed to help surgeons address stability and sagittal alignment, while maximizing lordotic correction. This product is an example of Zavation’s commitment to offering innovative and differentiated products in conjunction with market leading customer service to best serve our surgeons and distributor network.”

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients. The Zavation eZspand™ Interbody System implants are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.
