Life Spine to market 3-D printed titanium spacers

HUNTLEY - Life Spine said Wednesday it received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market its Ghost 3D-printed titanium spacer systems.

Ghost spacers integrate porous surfaces designed to promote bony on-growth while maintaining a robust external lattice geometry, the company said. The system is available in a wide range of footprints to accommodate varying patient anatomies and pathologies, Life Spine said.

"We are excited about the expansion of our interbody portfolio to include 3D-printed implants. Our robust offering is one of the broadest in the industry and includes solutions for nearly every procedure and surgeon preference," said Mariusz Knap, senior vice president of marketing.

Huntley-based Life Spine is a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets products for the surgical treatment of spinal disorders.
