MVN BIOMECH Awinda
Xsens expands its portfolio of full-body 3D kinematic measurement systems with MVN BIOMECH Awinda.
Inertial motion measurements are further enhanced with Xsens’ wireless motion trackers in MVN BIOMECH Awinda. Freedom of movement of the subject is increased by the lack of on-body cables and battery packs. Preparation time of the subject is reduced since the wireless motion trackers click into dedicated body straps. On-body weight of the total system has been decreased drastically. This makes MVN BIOMECH Awinda the perfect choice for research applications such as biomechanics, ergonomics and rehabilitation.
Mobi-C Cervical Disc for One-Level Use
LDR announced that it has received a letter of approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowing the commercial sale and distribution of the Mobi-C Cervical Disc (Mobi-C), for one-level indications.
Mobi-C is a cobalt chromium alloy and polyethylene, mobile-bearing prosthesis specifically designed as a bone-sparing, cervical intervertebral disc replacement. In addition to the unique mobile-bearing feature, Mobi-C offers a simplified surgical technique as compared to other commercially available devices.
In the one-level arm of the Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial, Mobi-C demonstrated non-inferiority in overall trial success compared to ACDF, which is a standard option for treating degenerative disc disease.
