More effective access. Less time and trauma. Better treatment:
The Erriva Extraforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Zurich, Switzerland, May 19th 2008. Coligne AG, a leading innovator in the design and manufacture of spinal implants, presents clinical follow up results of its unique Erriva ELIF treatment of the lumbar spine at this year’s Spineweek, Eurospine in Geneva, May 24th – May 31st 2008. The Erriva ELIF product line made of the proprietary biomaterial Ostapek, a high density long fiber carbon composite, is designed for lateral decompression, pedicle fixation and Ostapek interbody fusions. Erriva ELIF lumbar spine technology enables surgeons to reach the posterior elements, the interbody space and perform a complete spinal surgery that preserves more structures, minimizes blood loss and reduces muscle trauma.

The performance of Ostapek composite
Zurich, Switzerland, 14th April 2008. A breakthrough in Ostapek built for bone technology – the Ostapek composite material for medical implants provides the high strength of metals combined with the biocompatibility and imaging advantages of polymers. Coligne’s biomaterial comprises controlled long carbon fibers in a polymer matrix and offers significantly enhanced mechanical properties. It is a clinically proven implant material, suitable for the replacement of metal implants in load-bearing spinal applications. Read all about the characteristics of Coligne’s biomaterial Ostapek composite in the company’s whitepaper “The performance of Ostapek composite”. More
