FDA has cleared an Intellirod Spine *de novo* submission for its disposable spinal rod strain sensor, the LoadPro. The device clamps onto a standard 5.5mm rod for use in monitoring rod strain during kyphotic correction surgery. The initial clearance is for LoadPro with the Fortex pedicle screw system from Xtant Medical, according to Intellirod. “Post-market studies will add greater understanding of strains induced on the rods, the effect of different surgeon techniques on rod strain, and how reproducible procedures are relative to rod strain,” it adds.
