Captiva Spine’s TowerLOX MIS Pedicle Screw System Receives Clearance for Enhanced Rod Insertion and Reduction

Jupiter, FL, July 08, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Captiva Spine, Inc., a medical device organization dedicated to creating and maintaining sincere, honest, collaborative relationships to deliver smart, elegant, and intuitive spinal solutions, announced today it has received 510(K) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its enhanced TowerLOX MIS Pedicle Screw System.

These enhancements to the TowerLOX Pedicle Screw System’s already smooth, reliable and predictable tower system for MIS spine surgery include:

· PivoQuik™ Rod Inserter (patent pending) and Tower Guide - offer simple and quick rod alignment and placement.
· Modular Open Tower - proprietary locking mechanisms (patent pending) designed to prevent inadvertent tower detachment and allow for rod insertion and visualization through the central shaft of the tower.
· Reduction Set Screw Driver - allows for rod reduction through the tower without wound expansion while simultaneously driving the set screw thus reducing unnecessary steps.
· PivoRod LP™ (low profile) - provides efficient rod angle adjustment and “fiddle free” detachment for the inserter.

Captiva Spine continues to add new capabilities to the TowerLOX MIS Pedicle Screw System for surgeons who appreciate controlled, repeatable, and less invasive rod delivery and reduction. Dale Mitchell, President and Founder of Captiva Spine said, “We’ve obsessively invested time collaborating with leading MIS spine surgeons, discovered new resources through our vendor partners, and delivered coordinated enthusiasm through all aspects of this project.” Mitchell also stated that, “During our collaborations with numerous spine surgeons it became very clear that aside from creating a thoughtful and elegant MIS pedicle screw system, it was very important that these enhancements allowed the surgeon to approach challenging surgical situations with confidence.”
