Additive Implants Achieves Milestone of 200 patients Treated with 3D Printed implants

 Additive Implants  has already treated 200 patients with the SureMAX™ Cervical Spacer. A milestone for the medical 3D printing company whose second 3D printed titanium spacer, SureMAX-X™, has recently received FDA clearance.

The 200th procedure was performed by Dr. Rafath Baig at Banner Desert Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Baig commented: “I have been very pleased with the performance of the spacer and its unique surface features. The implant feels amazingly stable after insertion. The 14° Hyperlordotic option in particular is a powerful tool that has allowed me to obtain proper sagittal balance with relative ease. In patients with prior ACDF that were fused without adequate lordosis, using the 14° cage for junctional level detrition I can correct global balance through just a single level. The post-operative x-rays have not shown any signs of implant subsidence and the lordosis I achieved inter-operatively has been maintained.”

Jeff Horn, Additive’s Chief Commercialization Officer said: “We could not be more pleased to see surgeons using our numerous sizing options to help their patients achieve the best possible outcome. We thought there was an unmet need in the market and are very excited to see such a positive response to the SureMAX™.”

“Signed, Sealed and Delivered”

In the meantime, BigRep has shipped its 500th Large-Format 3D Printer. This exciting milestone follows the launch of a new 3D printing service in Boston, BigRep 3D PARTLAB that will enable North American customers to benefit from 3D printed parts on demand.  

“This delivery is more than just a figure, it shows how much industrial customers value our products and the production freedom they create. We greatly appreciate this trust and will continue utilizing the full potential of AM applications to the benefit of our customers, new and old,” says BigRep Managing Director, Martin Back. “Delivering consistently high quality, fast, precise, and cost-efficient products, is unthinkable without BigRep’s dedicated employees, as well as the commitment of our investors and partners, whom we’d like to thank with gratitude.”

As mentioned in our interview with Martin Back (March/April 2020 Issue of 3D ADEPT Mag – Page 30), the industry is urgently looking for solutions that will reduce costs, lead times and create new ways to innovate while reducing our carbon footprint, BigRep is not only on the right track to achieve this mission, they are also well equipped to do so.
