Learn how spine target needle surgery uses SurGenTec technology to support controlled access, imaging guidance, and minimally invasive spine procedures.

Highlights Synthetic bone grafting removed the need to harvest a patient's own bone in many joint replacement procedures, eliminating a second surgical site. Autograft harvesting carries documented complication rates, which drove the search for reliable alternatives. Ceramic materials including calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite provide an osteoconductive scaffold that host bone grows into and gradually remodels. …
