joimax is launching a new endoscopic surgical system, TESSYS® TransSAP.
joimax is releasing the TESSYS TransSAP – the fourth addition to the TESSYS family encompassing the standard TESSYS Std, TESSYS XT featuring longer reach instruments, and TESSYS Thx, the optimized version for the thoracic spine.
The system is based on the proven TESSYS method introduced in 2004. Since then, the technology has been enhanced and can be used for more complex indications, widening the spectrum of disease and vertebral level applications.
“The TransSAP method follows an adopted access path to the spine, directly targeting the Superior Articulating Process,” says Dr. Christoph Hofstetter, associate professor in the department of neurological surgery at the University of Washington.
“This allows for more extensive foraminal decompression and provides an optimal basis for transforaminal endoscopic fusion,” adds Dr. Ralf Wagner, a longstanding joimax-ESPINEA faculty orthopedic surgeon based in Frankfurt.
In addition, joimax provides a series of implants for fusion indications, such as the percutaneous pedicle screw system, Percusys Plus, and a family of 3D-printed titanium cages within the EndoLIF program. The EndoLIF suite of products consists of the static implants O/On-Cage, Delta-Cage and DoubleWedge-Cage.
“There are plans to add a new fully-expandable cage, as well as a navigated solution for endoscopic disc preparation and implant positioning to provide a full endoscopic assisted fusion platform,” says Wolfgang Ries, CEO and founder of joimax.
All joimax® implants can be safely inserted using the “Over-the-Wire” technique for precise implantation, making them ideal for endoscopically assisted fusion procedures established and protected by joimax.
These new products have been exhibited at the following trade shows: SMISS in Las Vegas, CNS in San Francisco, and NASS in Chicago, and will be featured at EUROSPINE in Milan and at the German Spine Congress, DWG, in Berlin later this year.
