Information about the Reveal LINQ II ICM designed to give physicians valuable insights that could help identify the cause of unexplained fainting.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a sudden, abrupt loss of heart function. Most SCA episodes are caused by the rapid and/or chaotic activity of the heart known as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF). These are abnormalities of the heart’s electrical conduction system. SCA claims the lives of nearly 1,000 Americans each day – many of these deaths are preventable.

INFUSE^® Bone Graft - Trauma

Information about INFUSE^® Bone Graft for use in the treatment of acute, open tibia fractures in adults.

INFUSE^® Bone Graft/LT-CAGE^® Device

Information about the use of INFUSE^® Bone Graft with the LT-CAGE^® Lumbar Tapered Fusion Device to treat degenerative disc disease; it's estimated that, in 2002, more than 190,000 Americans will undergo lumbar spinal fusion surgeries to ease their debilitating back pain and get them back on their feet. INFUSE^® Bone Graft contains recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2), the genetically engineered version of a naturally occurring protein that is capable of initiating bone growth, or bone regeneration, in specific, targeted areas in the spine. Using INFUSE^® Bone Graft with the LT-CAGE^® device in spine surgery reduces the pain and complications associated with treating degenerative disc disease by eliminating the second surgery required to harvest bone from a patient’s hip, as is done in traditional spinal fusion procedures.

Minimal Access Spinal Technologies
