Innovative Solutions to Reduce OR Time for Spinal Surgeries and improve Patient Outcomes

In recent years, spinal surgeries have evolved as more technologies become available to treat patients with spinal conditions. According to a study published in World Neurosurgery, there were 153,288 anterior cervical discectomy and fusions performed in the U.S., and volume is expected to increase 13.3% through 2040. Posterior cervical discectomy and fusions are also expected to grow 19.3%.

IDT has specialized in orthopedic implants since the company began in 2006. IDT’s President C. Michael Nilsson began designing orthopedic implants and instruments more than two decades ago at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He developed the first saddle-shaped cervical disc in 2009, and since then, has developed multiple implants and specialty instruments, which have received patent protection.
