FDA has given 510(k) clearance and breakthrough device designation to Medtronic’s LigaPASS 2.0 ligament augmentation system. The company [says](https://news.medtronic.com/Medtronic-receives-spine-industrys-first-and-only-FDA-clearance-for-breakthrough-device-indicated-for-ligament-augmentation?ref=fdaweb.com) it is the only FDA-cleared device indicated for ligament augmentation in spine surgery. The system “aims to compensate for muscle collapse during open posterior surgery and decrease junctional stress at the upper instrumented vertebra and adjacent levels through a band lacing technique using LigaPASS 2.0 system implants,” Medtronic says.
