Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation has entered into an exclusive worldwide license to develop and market an expandable interbody device with Stout Medical Group, LP.
“Stout Medical Group strongly believes in working with its licensing partners in the development and commercialization of its technologies,” said Tom Molz, president and CEO of Stout Medical Group.
The license allows Integra to develop an implantable device for spinal discs using minimally invasive techniques. An expandable device would allow surgeons performing an interbody fusion to adjust the space between a patient’s discs based on his or her needs.
“The expandable interbody fusion platform is an important and innovative addition to our minimally invasive device portfolio,” said Brian Larkin, Integra’s president, Global Spine and Orthobiologics, and head of strategic development. “This agreement leverages our expertise in business development and underscores our commitment to provide new technology to our spine distribution partners.”
Integra LifeSciences manufactures surgical devices and implants and is based in Plainsboro, N.J.
Stout Medical Group develops technologies for the medical device industry, with a particular focus on orthopedic technologies. The firm is based in Perkasie, Pa.
