Spinal Elements® Revolutionizes Spine Surgery with Ventana® 3D-Printed Interbody Portfolio

Spinal Elements, a renowned spine technology company, is proud to announce the full commercial release of their groundbreaking Ventana 3D-Printed Interbody Portfolio. This innovative product line includes the Ventana C Anterior Cervical Interbody System, Ventana P/T Posterior Lumbar Interbody System, and Ventana L Lateral Lumbar Interbody System. Developed by Spinal Elements, the Ventana portfolio represents a major leap forward in their MIS Ultra® platform of products and procedural solutions.

The key distinguishing feature of the Ventana portfolio is its uniquely designed implant architecture, which maximizes bone graft volume and containment through a specialized 3D-printing process. This process also minimizes the amount of titanium used, improving radiographic visualization. With the Ventana family of implants, clear radiographic visualization during imaging is made possible, thanks to the 3D-printed architecture. The implant windows allow a large amount of bone graft to be securely placed within the disc space, ensuring contact with the endplates, a crucial aspect of the fusion process according to Dr. Neel Anand, MD, of Anand Spine Group in Los Angeles, CA.

In addition to maximizing bone graft volume, Ventana's minimalistic radiolucent lattice design enhances visualization during and after the spinal fusion procedure. It acts as a snowshoe, allowing bone graft to come into contact with the endplates while providing a broad surface to help prevent implant subsidence. The Ventana family of devices is available in varying degrees of lordosis for sagittal balance restoration.

Ron Lloyd, the CEO of Spinal Elements, expressed his team's commitment to bringing innovative products to market that, when combined with their Orbit discectomy instrument set and fixation systems like Karma®, Overwatch®, or Sapphire X®, successfully work together to achieve spinal fusion. He believes that Ventana represents another significant milestone in their mission to redefine spinal healthcare.

The Ventana 3D-printed interbody portfolio was organically developed by the Spinal Elements team with input and guidance from multiple spine surgery thought leaders. This collaboration ensures that the products meet the needs and expectations of surgeons and patients alike.
