LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Medical devices company Inion Oy said it has received a CE Mark from the British Standards Institution (BSI) for its new Inion S-2 anterior lumbar fusion system.CE Mark approval is an integral step towards launching a medical device in the European Union.The biodegradable S-2 system is intended for use as a graft containment device in spinal fusion procedures in the lumbar regions of the spine in combination with rigid fixation, it said.It can also be used in mid-to-upper back, meaning that, in addition to the Inion S-1 system for applications in the cervical or neck region, Inion now has biodegradable implants for application over the whole spine.The new system also incorporates Inion's new radiographic tracer technology, which allows proper post-operative evaluation of healing at the operated sites, the company added.Chief executive Chris Lee said: 'With full coverage of the spine for a range of surgical procedures we believe we have an attractive product offering that will help us build an increasing presence in the large and rapidly growing spinal implant market.'TFN.newsdesk@thomson.comkal/bsdCOPYRIGHTCopyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007.
