Suture Concepts, today announced it will be featuring its new Lead Loop TM Tissue Fixation System at the annual ASIPP Meeting in Dallas, TX. Designed for Spinal Cord Stimulation procedures, this new fixation system offers physicians the benefits and flexibility they expect, while delivering value characteristics that meet the demand of today’s healthcare environment.
“The proprietary Micro Anchor Technology in the Lead LoopTM System improves the current surgical technique by achieving secure fixation of the lead and lead anchor to the fascia tissue in a quick and efficient manner.” says Lee Griffith, MD of Texas Spine & Joint in Tyler, TX. “The unique delivery system saves me significant time by eliminating the need for suture passing and is a great option for any Lead Anchor fixation.”
Anchor site suturing remains a time consuming and often difficult part of the permanent SCS procedure. Lead migration and anchor site pain remain issues even while we see many new technologies emerging to address the ease of lead placement, achieve more effective pain coverage, and employ different power and frequency options. Unlike the performance of traditional suture fixation techniques, which can vary based on factors such as poor knot deployment or a surgeon’s ability to fully tension the suture by hand, the Lead Loop TM implant uses a unique a knotless suture retention system that allows for circumferential capture of the lead anchor with a simple tensioning technique.
The Suture Concepts Lead Loop TM suturing device is intended for use in securing Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) leads and catheters to the fascia or intra-spinous/supra-spinous ligament.
“The Lead Loop implant is the next generation in knotless-suture anchors,” says Chris Runnells, CEO for Suture Concepts. “Our goal is to provide physicians confidence in reducing the rate of Lead Migration in SCS, which we believe will create a reduction in revision procedures along with a significant impact on future procedure costs.”
Physicians attending the annual American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) meeting this week in Dallas, TX will be able to learn more about the Lead Loop TM Tissue Fixation System at the Suture Concepts booth #211
