SpinalVu, Inc. Announces New Products
Sarasota, FL, November 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- SpinalVu, Inc. (SpinalVu), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Global-Med Technologies Group, Inc. (www.global-med.us.com) announced that it has begun production of two (2) product systems for treatment of spinal disorders. The Company has contracted with SMI of Ocala, Florida to produce its X-Wave™ Cervical Interbody System and X-Wave™ Lumbar Interbody System.

Both systems employ specialized surgical instrument kits and sterilization cases which allow surgeons in the operating room to implant X-Wave™ Cervical and Lumbar Interbody Spacers made of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) thermoplastic. These interbody devices (IBD) are small hollow spinal implants that are inserted into the intervertebral space to restore physiological disc height and to allow fusion between vertebral bodies. These devices relieve pressure on the nerves and associated back pain by maintaining the native disc space height and by providing positive mechanical stabilization.

SpinalVu, working in conjunction with Mosaic Medical Technologies, Inc. (www.mosaicmedtech.us.com) on the development of these systems choose the Polyetheretherketone material because of its unique characteristics which include extreme strength and fatigue resistance, bone like modulus, excellent wear properties and controlled imaging for future monitoring of procedure outcome. SpinalVu expects to launch these systems into the market the first quarter of next year. The Company is also developing biologically augmented versions of its X-Wave™ system which will provide more options intra operatively to the surgeon and greatly improve procedure outcomes.
