Spinal Elements Chief Marketing Officer Rick Simmons provides SmartTRAK an indepth look at the Company’s Karma Fixation System, a low-profile alternative to traditional pedicle screw technology, at the International Society of the Advancement for Spinal Surgery (ISASS) 2022 Annual Conference held June 1-4 in the Bahamas. Karma implants consist of a high-performance polymer, enabling an almost completely radiolucent approach to stabilizing the lumbar spine, as an adjunct to fusion and are designed to engage more predictably strong cortical bone.
