Emergency Centinel Spine ACDF Surgery

The Government requires Centinel Spine's implants and supplies for an upcoming procedure to be performed at WPAFB's MTF on 29 January 2020. The performing surgeon has determined that Centinel Spine's 3D printed titanium implants are in the best interest of the patient. Beacon Point Associates is the only known source to provide the items required. The Stalif C ABO Screw is made with Titanium compared to plastic having better orientation of motion to include axial rotation, flexion extension and lateral bending. The Stalif screw has an integrated compressive lag fixation which allows implant immobilization with integrated self tapping cancellous lag screws utilizing "Anti Back-Out(ABO) technology." The No-profile design allows the device to sit within the confines of the disc space protecting the surrounding vascular structures to require no additional plates. The products required spare more tissue with no additional hardware needed for insertion. Centinel Spine's lordotic design allows for increased curvature to the spine and establishes a more natural correction giving a greater opportunity for sagittal allignment. If these items are not used the surgery would have to occur off base at a substantial duplication of cost.
