Services
Cervical Implants
Our cervical implant systems feature 3D-printed titanium devices with BioBond porous structures for enhanced bone integration. These implants simplify anterior cervical fusion procedures through integrated anchor systems and large graft windows. Designed for standalone use or with supplemental fixation, they accommodate various anatomies with multiple footprint and lordosis options.
Biologics
Choice Spine's biologics portfolio includes demineralized bone matrices, synthetic grafts, and amniotic membranes that support spinal fusion and tissue regeneration. These products provide osteoconductive and osteopromotive properties to complement our implant systems. Our offerings address diverse surgical needs from simple grafting to complex bone void management.
SI Joint Fixation
The TRITON SI Joint Fixation System uses 3D-printed titanium screws with BioBond technology for sacroiliac joint fusion. Featuring open graft windows and cannulated design for bone graft delivery, this system treats degenerative sacroiliitis and joint disruptions. Available in multiple diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomical variations.
Lateral Access Systems
VEO PEEK Lateral Access Systems enable direct visualization of psoas muscle and nerves during lateral fusion procedures. Dual-stage retraction minimizes tissue trauma while radiolucent tubular retractors maintain fluoroscopic visibility. Compatible with our TigerShark L lateral interbody spacers for streamlined surgical workflows.
3D-Printed Implants
Our 3D-printed titanium implants feature proprietary BioBond porous trabecular structures that mimic natural bone architecture. This technology promotes early bone growth and integration while maintaining structural integrity. Applications include cervical, thoracolumbar, and corpectomy devices with anatomically optimized designs.
