Life Spine Confirms MR Conditional Status for ProLift Expandable Interbody Portfolio
Life Spine, a company specializing in medical devices for spinal surgery, announced on February 17 that its ProLift expandable interbody products have been confirmed as MR Conditional, meeting ASTM standards.
This status applies to the ProLift, ProLift Micro, and ProLift Lateral devices, which are used in interbody fusion surgeries for various techniques, including TLIF, PLIF, and LLIF. Being MR Conditional means that patients who have these devices can safely undergo MRI scans, provided that specific conditions are followed, as detailed in the product information.
MRI safety is crucial in today’s spine care, as imaging plays a vital role in monitoring patients’ recovery and long-term health.
Rich Mueller, CEO of Life Spine, emphasized the company’s dedication to supporting the needs of both surgeons and patients. “The confirmation of MR Conditional status showcases our commitment to creating well-designed solutions that enhance procedural effectiveness and patient care,” he stated.
The evaluation process assessed several factors, such as interactions with magnetic fields, heating effects, and image clarity based on established industry standards. Comprehensive MRI safety guidelines, including specific scanning parameters, will soon be included in the product’s Instructions for Use.
