Alphatec enhances its lateral portfolio with the commercial launch of approach-specific innovation

Alphatec holdings, inc. announced the commercial release of its porous titanium line of identiti™ implants for lateral interbody fusion (lif) procedures. the launch of the identiti lif interbody implant systems follows successful alpha evaluations that began in january 2019. the company has successfully commercialized all of the six identiti implant systems slated for release in 2019. the company also announced the commercial release of the amp™ lateral anti-migration plate, as well as the re-design and reconfiguration of its peek lateral interbody implant offering, transcend™. with the expected launch of safeop neuromonitoring next month, in november 2019, atec is on track to launch all 12 of its planned commercial launches for 2019, executing on its commitment to accelerate growth through clinical distinction. atec’s identiti implant systems are designed to provide the biological, biomechanical, and imaging characteristics that surgeons seek in a fusion construct. the subtractive process used to manufacture each identiti implant system results in more predictable mechanical performance and enhanced imaging characteristics. identiti implants take advantage of bone’s affinity for titanium and, because of their porosity, have a surface roughness that enhances stability. atec identiti implants not only complement the company’s current suite of peek implants, but also allow atec to address the broader market of surgeons who prefer titanium. key features of identiti implant systems include: subtractive manufacturing process creates a consistent porous titanium material that mimics the structure of cancellous bone and furthers product performance redictability with consistent and reproducible interconnected pore sizes; proprietary pore structure designed to create surface roughness that facilitates immediate implant stability and surface adhesion; reduced density (60% porous) enhances intraoperative and postoperative imaging; stiffness similar to bone; and intuitive, low profile, and exacting instruments designed to optimize the surgeon experience and facilitate outstanding patient outcomes.
