Pinnacle Spine Group Granted Chinese Patent for Innovative Spinal Fusion Technology

DALLAS, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Pinnacle Spine Group, LLC, a developer of innovative spinal fusion solutions to address unmet surgical needs and improve outcomes, today announced that the Chinese Patent Office is in the process of issuing Chinese Patent Application No. 201180020517.1 titled Intervertebral Implants and Graft Delivery Systems and Methods as an enforceable patent. This patent will be the first international patent, following the receipt of three U.S. patents covering Pinnacle Spine’s innovative InFill® fusion technology.  The company owns other non-U.S. applications, including applications in Australia,Canada and Europe.

Pinnacle Spine Group has pioneered the novel concept of placing bone graft material in situ (precisely in position) into an implanted device in order to maximize graft material volume and contact with vertebral endplates – a critical element for a successful spine fusion outcome.

Pinnacle Spine’s InFill® Fusion Systems include an array of innovative interbody fusion devices engineered for easier insertion, reduced subsidence through maximum contact with the apophyseal ring, a generous bone grafting area and compatibility with the InFill® graft delivery system. The backbone of the technology is predicated on controlled and precise in situ placement of bone graft material into and around the implanted device.
