First patients receive Centinel’s 3-D printed titanium spinal implants

Centinel Spine (New York) has completed the initial cases with three different implant portfolios within its FLX platform of integrated interbody and non-integrated interbody fusion devices.

FLX devices are 3D-printed, all-titanium implants with a combination of solid and porous radiolucent sections designed to reduce mechanical stiffness and improve visibility, as compared to solid titanium implants. The devices also have a proprietary “fuse-thru” trabecular scaffold designed to allow for bony in-growth and on-growth throughout the implant. Centinel Spine received FDA-clearance for multiple cervical and lumbar interbody fusion device families in May of this year.
