MONTEREY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elevation Spine announced today that its Saber-C Anterior Cervical Fusion System has surpassed 5,000 implantations, a milestone that reflects growing surgeon adoption of its proprietary integrated-fixation approach to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The Saber-C system combines the stability of traditional anterior cervical plating with the streamlined workflow of a zero-profile interbody construct through its proprietary Saber™ in-line spike fixation technology.
“Five thousand implantations is more than a number. It’s five thousand data points from surgeons in the OR telling us what works, what they need, and where to go next. That feedback has shaped every iteration of this platform. It’s the foundation we build on, and it’s what gives us confidence that what we’re bringing to market is exactly what spine surgeons have been asking for.”
— Charlie Gilbride, CEO, Elevation Spine
“I’ve used Saber-C across a range of cases and the consistency is what stands out. The spike fixation deploys predictably, the workflow is clean, and I’m not managing a separate plating step. Five thousand implantations speaks for itself, this system has earned its track record.”
— Tien Le, MD, Total Spine & Brain Institute
One of the few zero-profile ACDF systems cleared as an anterior cervical plate, Saber-C provides surgeons with a stronger foundation than standalone interbody classification alone. Its in-line spike fixation technology enables single-step simultaneous deployment at both endplates, reducing procedural complexity without compromising stability. The system supports both spike and screw fixation options and offers seven total points of fixation, a profile exclusive to the Saber-C platform.
As the platform crosses the 5,000-implantation threshold, Elevation Spine looks ahead to the next chapter of the Saber-C system, with a next-generation update anticipated for commercial launch later this year.
