Business Wire
Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone
and joint restoration products and biologic materials for
extremities, knee, hip and spine, announced today the full launch
of the new Acapella® One Cervical Spacer System.
With the full launch of Acapella One, a cervical cage
pre-assembled with integrated anchors, surgeons can restore disc
height while providing integrated fixation to prevent device
migration during anterior cervical spinal fusions. The Acapella One
implants are available in two footprints, six heights and three
sagittal profiles, including an anatomic domed design. The overall
procedure is simplified by the unique design of the cage, which
allows for single-step deployment of both the integrated anchors
simultaneously into the vertebral endplates.
Exactech initially announced the pilot launch of the Acapella
One device at the North American Spine Society 30th Annual Meeting
in 2015. Since then, it has gained strong surgeon acceptance with
more than 500 implanted to date. The continued development of the
system includes simplified instrumentation designed to minimize
surgical time and instrument processing while still ensuring
superior performance.
"Exactech's product development team is dedicated to providing a
simplified surgical technique for surgeons and the potential for
reduced operative time for patients," said Bruce Thompson, Sr. Vice
President and General Manager of Spine and Biologics at Exactech.
“With the initial results from the pilot launch of the Acapella One
system, we believe we will deliver on both of these goals."
The full launch of Acapella One marks another milestone in the
continued development of innovative products by Exactech
Spine. The system rounds out Exactech’s cervical offerings,
including the newly released Ascendant™ Titanium Coated Cervical
cage, Ambassador™ Cervical plate and Gibralt® OCT Spinal System,
which give surgeons a wide range of options for performing cervical
fusion. Surgeons can learn more about the Exactech Spine at
