FDA has cleared a 4WEB Medical 510(k) for its Lateral Spine Truss System, a 3D-printed lateral interbody fusion device. “4WEB’s proprietary truss implant technology leverages fundamental engineering principles in structural mechanics to address important clinical issues such as implant subsidence after lateral access surgery,” a [news release](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/4web-medical-announces-fda-clearance-of-lateral-spine-truss-system-2016-07-27?ref=fdaweb.com) says. The device will launch with a wide array of sizing options and integrated instrumentation. Additionally, they will feature smart single-sterile packaging to ensure sterility, improve operating room efficiencies, and allow access to global markets where sterile packaging is a requirement, the company says.
