Spinal Simplicity Launches the Minuteman® G5 Implant
Overland Park, KS – April 27, 2022 – Spinal Simplicity, a medical device company, today announced the much-anticipated launch of the Minuteman® G5 implant. Minuteman® is an interspinous-interlaminar fusion device. It is intended for the fixation and stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine while awaiting bony fusion to occur. It attaches to the spinous processes of the posterior non-cervical spine through its bilateral grip plates. Additionally, the device is designed for use with bone graft material placed inside it.
“I am grateful to announce the full product launch of our next generation Minuteman technology. Our new G5 implant has additional patented features that will provide numerous advantages for our doctors and the patients we all serve. The launch of our G5 implant is a great example of our company fulfilling one of our core values, the relentless pursuit of perfection,” says Todd Moseley, CEO and Co-founder of Spinal Simplicity.
The Minuteman G5 implant advancements include:
- Full control over the implant wings allowing the user to deploy and retract the wings intraoperatively.
- Single-piece implant body minimizing the device profile without the need to remove a portion of the threaded body.
- 60° wing angle designed to provide improved biomechanical stability in response to axial rotation and lateral bending loading.
- Hydroxyapatite-coated fixation hex nut designed to maximize bone-implant contact area and promote bone on-growth, stability, and fusion.
- Lower profile compared to Minuteman G3-R. As a result, the implant cam be inserted down a smaller diameter sleeve from the MIS lateral approach.
