FDA clears Life Spine’s Gruve cervical plate implant

Life Spine said yesterday it won FDA 510(k) clearance for its Gruve anterior cervical plate system.

The Gruve plate allows for extreme bone screw angulation, large graft windows and a locking mechanism that provides tactile and visual confirmation of locking upon installation, Huntley, Ill.-based Life Spine said.

“Our comprehensive cervical portfolio reinforces Life Spine’s commitment to providing single-source, cohesive procedural solutions to our customers,” Life Spine sales exec veep Joe Loy said in a press release.

Life Spine said the Gruve will see a limited market release in early 2016 and a full release in the 2nd quarter.

Gruve offers 7 other cervical plating options, including 5 static systems and 2 internally dynamizing systems.
