Comprising a team of elite engineers and orthopedic industry experts, AMB Surgical is devoted to the development and commercialization of its FLYTE™ smart automated growing rod technology which holds promise to reduce anxiety and trauma from juvenile and adolescent surgeries. Device is not cleared by the FDA yet
FLYTE is the next generation growing rod implant for the treatment of complex pediatric spine deformities. FLYTE is a sophisticated electro-mechanical, software activated device to provide real-time biomechanical feedback to guide treatment allowing surgeons to perform accurate, non-surgical skeletal adjustments. The results in are expected to reduce costs, surgical risks and improved patient outcomes.
The key to FLYTE is the innovative combination of miniature gearing, power, sensors and wireless communication technology located inside the device. FLYTE is controlled remotely by a software application that programs the device, makes surgeon-programmed adjustments, records and monitors real-time biomechanical information over the course of treatment. FLYTE has the promise to significantly reduce the number of surgeries and cost while improving patient outcomes.
About AMB Surgical
AMB Surgical is an early-stage medical device product developer that holds two issued patents for an electro-mechanical smart automated growing rod called “FLYTE”. FLYTE™ has the potential to revolutionize the way pediatric deformities are treated and spare young patients repeated, invasive procedures. FLYTE’s technology can advance surgical techniques and outcomes for complex applications in pediatric scoliosis, complex deformity correction (dynamic external fixation/ X-Fix), and long bone lengthening (intramedullary nail applications]. FLYTE delivers precise, frequent, less traumatic adjustments, along with providing data capture/storage and biomechanical feedback. The result is a reduction in costs and surgical risks and improved patient outcomes.http://www.ambsurgical.com
