“This release represents an important step in broadening our platform of innovative, single-use instruments and implants for cervical fusion,” commented Jeff Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Providence Medical Technology. “Cervical fusion and indirect decompression with DTRAX products offers a compelling, tissue-sparing option for patients suffering from cervical radiculopathy.”

Providence’s cervical platform now consists of DTRAX Bone Screws, DTRAX Cervical Cage, DTRAX Graft, DTRAX Spinal System, and DTRAX Expandable Cage System.

“I am encouraged by the surgeon adoption and positive patient outcomes of DTRAX products,” continued Smith. “The expansion of our cervical platform provides surgeons with additional options when treating patients with cervical radiculopathy.”
