Tyber Medical introduces innovative lateral plate

Tyber Medical, a medical device manufacturer, has introduced the newest product in its lateral plating lineup.

The low profile lateral plate has three fixation points for each vertebral body. This three fixation eliminates the need for an addition tool as well as having surgeons skip some step in placing the device, allowing for a shorter procedure time. The device reduces the risk of neurological deficit as well as being the tightest fit for patients when the screw is locked.

"The market for lateral access instruments and implants is one of the fastest growing segments. Companies that haven't already secured their share of the market will soon find it harder and harder to compete. This new lateral plating system, together with Tyber's lateral retractor and interbody product, creates one of the best lateral access systems available in the market today," said Steve Zeiger, senior director of sales and marketing at Tyber Medical.
