“This FDA clearance now allows ABS to market its Plexis™ mixing and delivery system together with ABS’s Symphony™ VR radiopaque bone cement as a complete and controlled solution to spine physicians for stabilizing spinal compression fractures for use in either vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures,” said Pete Carr, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABS. “ABS’s proprietary Symphony™ VR bone cement comes premixed with a radiopacifier and provides the spine physician with longer working time and lower exothermic temperature while using less monomer than other products currently on the market. The Plexis™ bone void filling system utilizes a patented mixing and delivery technology that ensures an optimal and consistent material mix and provides a precise, metered delivery for maximum control by the surgical professional. ABS continues to develop and deliver products to the market that advance procedure outcomes and patient safety.”

ABS will be exhibiting its products at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in Washington, DC in February, the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) annual scientific meeting in New Orleans, LA in March, and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) annual meeting in New Orleans, LA in April.
