FDA has cleared a CarboFix in Orthopedics 510(k) for the CarboClear Carbon Fiber Transverse Connectors to be used in conjunction with its Carbon Fiber Pedicle Screw System, a device used to surgically treat oncological patients. The device, according to the company, offers enhanced radiation therapy planning abilities, allowing radiation treatment to optimize the radiation dose to the tumor with minimal collateral tissue damage. It is also compatible with particle radiation (proton and carbon ion) and other stereotactic radio-surgery modalities, the company says.
