Prof. Le Huec, Head, Ortho-Spine Department, Bordeaux University Hospital, France and Former President of the European Spine Society and the International Society of Advanced Spinal Surgery, said that "I am very excited to start using the FLXfit product as it combines several critical features that are important clinically: large footprint coverage cage that can be inserted in a regular or a minimal invasive way and then expanded to fit the patient’s anatomy, making it a very useful tool in our daily practice".
Prof. Le Huec explained that "the big difference with existing devices is the FLXfit’s ability to combine the above mentioned features with lordosis angle correction, which can help restore the sagittal balance, which is crucial for a successful fusion procedure".
He concluded that "we will need to perform additional cases and have a longer follow-up but I believe that the FLXfit represent a class of devices that may change the way spine surgeons treat their patients in the future".
Ofer Bokobza, CEO of Expanding Orthopedics, said that "I am extremely honored that Prof. Le Huec, a world renowned spine KOL, and his dedicated team at the CHU of Bordeaux, were part of this exciting and important milestone".
