Synergy Spine's Synergy Disc, a motion-preserving cervical disc replacement device, reached 100 implants in 100 days following FDA approval and demonstrated clinical superiority to fusion in its IDE trial with an 87.1% success rate at 24 months.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply materials, tooling or manufacturing for cervical implants, Synergy just proved the market will abandon fusion for motion-preserving devices—and Medtronic, Stryker and Zimmer now have a validated competitive threat to protect market share. Call your spine surgeon customers this week to understand which procedures they're converting.
