DUBLIN - July 8, 2015
- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT) today announced the launch of
the CD HORIZON® SOLERA® VOYAGER(TM) Spinal System for Minimally
Invasive Spine procedures. Available today in countries around the
world, the CD HORIZON® SOLERA® VOYAGER(TM) System expands upon the
transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedure by offering
multiple, minimally invasive rod insertion options and enabling a
seamless 3D-navigated surgical experience. The announcement
was made during the 22nd annual international Meeting on Advanced
Spine Techniques (IMAST) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
With the CD HORIZON® SOLERA® VOYAGER(TM) System,
surgeons have the flexibility to use either a percutaneous or
Wiltse minimally invasive approach for rod insertion depending upon
their preference. The system also features a low-profile,
extended-tab screw with inner threading, which eases rod insertion
and facilitates rod reduction. In addition, the system is
part of Medtronic's Surgical Synergy(TM) Spinal Platform - the most
integrated portfolio of navigated surgical technologies - which
seeks to minimize the operating room from interruption and
constraints and gives surgeons the freedom to focus wholly on their
patients.
"Medtronic is known for our life-changing
innovations and groundbreaking technologies. That legacy -
along with our broad portfolio and collaborative partnerships -
enables us to truly make an impact on patient care," said Doug
King, president of the Spinal business and senior vice president of
Medtronic. This system represents our commitment to take minimally
invasive techniques and 3D-navigated surgery even further and
develop solutions with clinical and economic value."
