Alphatec Launches Arsenal Deformity Scoliosis System

Alphatec Spine, Inc. announced that the Company has launched its new Arsenal Deformity Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) System and has successfully completed initial patient cases.  The limited release further expands the Company’s Arsenal Spinal Fixation System and targets the $650M U.S. deformity spine market.

The Arsenal AIS System gives surgeons a complete solution to address complex deformity pathologies, including unique uniplanar screws, which enable easier screw positioning and rod placement through a tulip that has 360 degrees of rotation, while restricting motion in the medial/lateral plane for derotation correction.  Additionally, the AIS system includes a wide variety of low-profile implants providing a better anatomical fit and increased ability to address patient pathologies, ergonomically designed instrumentation to improve surgical efficiency and comfort during complex surgeries, and proven biomechanical strength necessary to achieve a solid fusion.
