Innovation designed to expand lateral adoption
and improve patient outcomes
Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEC), a provider of innovative
solutions dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine
surgery, announced today that the Company will introduce at the
2022 NASS Annual Meeting innovation designed to improve lateral
surgery. The Company has applied learnings from Prone TransPsoas
(PTPTM) and decades of lateral prowess to evolve both the Lateral
TransPsoas (LTPTM) and the orthogonal Midline ALIFTM approaches
with novel technology designed to advance treatment of L3 through
S1, the most commonly treated levels in spine.
“Sophistication is in direct relation to the number of
distinctions that are drawn to a subject, and for ATEC, our
sophistication is lateral surgery,” asserted Pat Miles, Chairman
and CEO. “We intend to be the standard bearer for lateral. By
expanding its applications and innovating to improve outcomes
regardless of position, ATEC is accelerating the shift toward less
invasive spine care.”
Christopher Brown, M.D., Spine Surgeon and Assistant Professor
of Neurosurgery and Orthopedic Surgery at Duke University, added,
“What we started years ago has been improved with additional
automated monitoring modalities as well as procedure-specific
positioners and access systems. I prefer to address L3 to S1
anteriorly. I can now perform a streamlined procedure that couples
ATEC LTP with the Midline ALIF approach to less invasively achieve
the desired surgical goals without repositioning my patient.”
Vedat Deviren, M.D., Spine Surgeon and Professor of Orthopaedic
Surgery at UCSF Medical Center, commented, “Spine surgery is
evolving. In the past, we addressed every pathology with the same
procedure. Now, innovation is more often enabling the pathology to
dictate the approach. PTP and LTP avail unprecedented,
single-position optionality.”
About ATEC LTPTM
ATEC LTP, informed by unrivalled lateral and neuromonitoring
expertise, has been designed with approach-specific technology,
including a novel positioner and retractor that integrate
seamlessly with SafeOp Neuromonitoring.
ATEC’s SafeOp Neural InformatiX System is central to lateral
spine surgery, delivering objective, intraoperative nerve health
information into the procedures. SafeOp is designed with automated
electromyography (EMG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP)
to provide surgeons with actionable information regarding both the
location and the health of nerves at risk during surgery,
addressing the most common complication associated with lateral
approaches.
The Sigma-LTP Access System, also central to ATEC LTP, is a
retractor designed to maximize efficiency, improve reproducibility
and achieve exposure goals with improved rigidity, customizable
aperture and more intuitive orthogonality.
ATEC LTP includes a patient positioner designed to improve
orthogonality and increase operating room efficiency. Utilizing a
familiar Jackson frame, the positioner allows surgeons to safely
accomplish LTP, Midline ALIF and Posterior Fixation approaches
without needing to re-drape or re-position patients.
