Paradigm Spine develops spinal stenosis disease management solutions. Its Coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization device is available for use in more than 40 countries.

The device is a minimally invasive stabilisation implant, which treats moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and decompression.

RTI expects the Coflex® device to boost its overall spinal offering, as well as strengthen customer retention and portfolio pull-through.

RTI Surgical president and CEO Camille Farhat said: “Coflex® is FDA PMA-approved and an established treatment that we believe is poised for accelerated and sustainable long-term growth given its clinical efficacy and ongoing progress toward insurance coverage.

“We look forward to working with the Paradigm Spine team to complete this compelling addition to the RTI Surgical family.”
