VertiFlex® Inc., a privately-held medical device company specializing in percutaneous, minimally invasive and motion preservation technologies for treating disorders of the spine, today announced the launch of Silverbolt™ Plus, a posterior fixation system designed to support all types of surgical approaches in the lumbar spine - percutaneous, mini-open, and open in one single instrument set.

"Silverbolt™ Plus is the first system to give surgeons a complete solution for posterior lumbar fixation. With this single instrument set, a surgeon has access to a variety of instrumentation options -- percutaneous delivery of single and multiple vertebral levels, percutaneous dynamic stabilization with our Dynabolt™ Dynamic Rod, and supplemental instruments for mini-open and open approaches," said Earl R. Fender, President and CEO at VertiFlex.

The new Silverbolt™ Plus System will be on display at the North American Spine Society meeting in Toronto, Canada, October 15 - 17 at booth #1243.
