Pressio Spine announced the successful completion of the first surgical cases using its Continuum compression staple, a superelastic nitinol fixation system for single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

The Continuum staple is engineered to provide continuous compression across the fusion site. It uses an in-line spinal positioning design with a streamlined placement technique and is supplied as a fully sterile, single-use instrument kit.

The initial cases were performed by Dr. Daniel Leas of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates.

“The nitinol compression is doing real work immediately,” said Leas. “I don’t have to think about screw angles or trajectories or multi-step fixation protocols.”

Conventional anterior cervical fixation typically relies on plates and screws placed in multiple steps. Pressio Spine positions Continuum as an alternative in which the superelastic nitinol actively maintains load on the graft after placement.

“Continuum changes that entirely,” said Kent Ellington, CEO, Pressio Spine. “The nitinol compression is actively working, continuously supporting the fusion site.”

The staple is designed for use alongside the company’s Tidal cervical fusion cage, a 3D-printed titanium cage with 80% porosity and a threaded design for rotational stability.

Pressio Spine develops spine surgery technologies intended to bridge clinical potential and patient outcomes in modern operating environments.
