OrthoCor™ has introduced their Active Knee System™, which delivers a unique combination of soothing heat and medical therapy to provide effective pain relief where it is most needed. With its simple, compact, and flexible design, it is easy to use and helps manage knee pain so patients can maintain an active lifestyle.
The OrthoCor Active Knee System is a portable, Class III medical device that has been cleared by the FDA. It is indicated for adjunctive use in the palliative treatment of postoperative pain and edema in superficial soft tissue. It also provides temporary relief of minor muscular and joint aches and pains associated with over-exertion, strains, sprains, and arthritis. It is safe and effective for in-home use.

Injectable Bone Grafts
Biocomposites has launched geneX ds, a dual syringe mixing and minimally invasive delivery system containing geneX, the resorbable bone graft material with a negative surface charge.
The powder and liquid components of geneX are provided pre-packed in separate syringes. The syringes connect together and allow a faster, simpler, and cleaner way for mixing geneX. The resulting setting paste can then be delivered through an 8-cm dispenser (included). The company notes that geneX ds is ideal for difficult-to-reach surgical sites and minimally invasive procedures.
GeneX is a synthetic bone graft material with a unique biphasic composition manufactured through a process, ZPC® (Zeta Potential Control), that confers on the product a reproducible negative surface charge. This property stimulates bone cell activity, accelerating bone formation and fusion by harnessing key proteins and directing osteoblast adhesion and proliferation for rapid osteogenesis. geneX is fully resorbable and is completely replaced by bone. The company notes that geneX overcomes the surgeon’s reliance on donor tissue, presenting both a cost saving and a reduction in the risks associated with its use.
geneX ds is FDA cleared and CE marked and is now available in 2.5 cc

Spinal System
Medtronic, Inc., has announced the US launch of the SOVEREIGN™ Spinal System.
The SOVEREIGN Spinal System is an intervertebral body (interbody) fusion device used to treat patients who suffer from a degenerative condition that affects the lumbar spine. The SOVEREIGN Spinal System is designed to stabilize the spine and promote bony fusion.
To restore a patient’s disc height, surgeons have traditionally used bone grafts, stabilized and held in place by metal plates anchored to the spine with bone screws. The SOVEREIGN Spinal System incorporates a lens-shaped device with 3 holes for the placement of titanium screws, which protrude through the device and stabilize the adjacent vertebral bodies while preventing expulsion of the implant. The system also incorporates a cover plate that is designed to resist screw backout and that must be used in combination with the screws. Made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), the SOVEREIGN device is radiolucent on x-rays, which allows the surgeon to view the spinal fusion during a follow-up visit.
The SOVEREIGN Spinal System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 1 or 2 contiguous vertebral levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had 6 months of nonoperative treatment. The implant may be implanted via a laparoscopic or an open anterior approach.
The SOVEREIGN intervertebral body fusion device may be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with supplemental fixation. When used as a stand-alone device, the SOVEREIGN interbody device is intended to be used with the 3 titanium alloy screws and the accompanying cover plate. If the physician chooses to use less than 3 or none of the provided screws, then additional supplemental fixation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine must be used to augment stability. The accompanying cover plate MUST be used anytime the device is used with any number of screws.
