Stable-C™ was designed by Jeffrey Hoskins, MD of the Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton, Ohio with the aim of combining intraoperative ease of use with robust fixation. “I believe we accomplished our goals with the recent tweaks we have made to the system,” commented Dr. Hoskins. “The anchoring and deployment design features are a perfect complement to the inherent advantages of the Tranquil™ matrix. I expect my Stable-C™ patients to do extremely well.”
About Compliant Mechanisms
Compliant mechanisms mimic nature by providing motion and force transmission through flexibility rather than from traditional rigid-body joints. This breakthrough enables bio-friendly synthetic materials such as titanium to perform more like surgically treated tissues at the macro and microscopic levels. This approach utilizes modern mathematical modeling, 3D finite elemental analysis, and 3D printing to drastically improve the way that spinal implants perform. Nexus compliant mechanism-based devices have been implanted in patients since 2015 with the goal of achieving faster healing with less pain.
About Tranquil™ Interbody Fusion Technology
Tranquil™ is a flexible interbody fusion device made of titanium that is shaped and engineered using compliant mechanism principals to behave like spinal trabecular bone by mimicking its stiffness, resulting in a device that is 1/10th the stiffness of traditional competitive interbody fusion implants. Tranquil™ is available in cervical, ALIF, PLIF, TLIF, steerable TLIF, and DLIF configurations.
About Nexus Spine
Nexus Spine develops industry-leading spinal implants by leveraging our novel compliant mechanism engineering expertise. Our innovative and evidence-based approach continues to advance the standard of surgical technologies through a rigorous focus on improving clinical outcomes while being easier to implant. Our streamlined spinal fusion systems minimize implant bulk, surgery time, and hospital handling, which make them especially well suited for the ambulatory surgery center setting. We are wholly owned by Crocker Ventures, an independent, privately-held life science, healthcare and technology investment firm.
