Expanding Orthopedics signs distribution deal for expandable cage

Expanding Orthopedics Inc. (EOI) has signed a multi-million dollar agreement with Trout Medical to distribute its FLXfit three-dimensional expandable cage in Texas.

Spine industry veteran Brad Rummer, who owns Trout Medical, said he was “thrilled to return to the spine business with such a differentiated product, which is becoming a rarity in the spine industry.

“Expandable cages are the fastest growing spine segment and provide a strong opportunity for a product like the FLXfit to create significant impact. [FLXfit] offers an ‘all in one’ solution for patients undergoing fusion surgery including MIS capability, great footprint, large bone graft chamber, smooth insertion and placement, and unique lordotic expansion designed to correct the sagittal balance.”

Rummer went on to explain that: “what matters to the surgeon, besides the great clinical benefits that the FLXfit could offer, are the ease of use and the critical ability of not only stabilising the spine, but really correcting the patient’s spinal anatomy.”
