IRVINE, Calif., June 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GS Solutions Inc., DBA GS Medical USA (GSM), a leader and innovator of surgeon-driven spinal technology that advances patient care, today announced the launch of the AnyPlus® Extended Tab Minimally Invasive Pedicle Screw system.
The AnyPlus® Extended Tab Minimally Invasive Pedicle Screw System was engineered to offer a less invasive surgical option for pedicle screw placement. The system incorporates anatomically driven solutions and ergonomic designs that allow for a simple, precise and efficient solution to spinal fixation, adding benefits to minimally invasive approach with less OR time.
“Getting the right feedback and insight from surgeon partners is at the forefront of our research and development,” Andrea Watt, Product Development Manager said. “We believe surgeons can drive engineering to develop cutting edge implants and instrumentation that continue to revolutionize the spine industry because they have the right experience and insight for the products and procedures.”
Succeeding the Q4 2017 launch of the AnyPlus® Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion system and the Anterior and Posterior Disc Prep Sets, both of which are currently being used successfully in surgeries, GSM experienced a strong start to the year with sales growth in Q1 2018 versus Q1 2017.
“As we continue to expand our portfolio of spinal solutions with innovative technology and build out a robust national distributor network, we expect to see solid, positive growth throughout the remainder of 2018,” said James Shin, CEO.
To complement the company’s expanding portfolio of solutions, GSM hosted a cadaver lab and bioskills course in early May in Las Vegas. The course featured presentations by current GSM surgeon users, and attendees were provided with technical, hands-on training on the various systems offered by GSM. The surgeons who attended expressed positive feedback on both the DLIF and percutaneous systems, as well as the strategic direction of the company.
“Given the rapid expansion of our portfolio of solutions, we recognize the continued need to partner with our surgeons and distributors to provide expert instruction on our spinal systems,” said Kurt Neesley, U.S. Sales and Business Development Director.
“We are committed to a platform for multi-faceted surgeon education, and we value the opportunity to collaborate with surgeons in a cadaveric setting,” Kurt said. “We look forward to working with surgeons and distributor partners to improve patient care with our new and advanced products and technology.”
GSM leadership and sales representatives plan to exhibit at NASS, September 26-29. To schedule a meeting with the team or to inquire about distributor partnership opportunities, please contact [email protected].
