Spinal implant company, Facet Solutions, Inc. moves into new
headquarters
LOGAN, UTAH – August 15, 2006– Facet Solutions,
Inc., a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing
spinal implants for the rapidly growing posterior lumbar motion
preservation market, announced today that they have moved into
their new corporate headquarters in Logan, Utah. The completion
of the new state of the art facility provides the company with
the infrastructure to achieve its strategic plan of bringing
spine motion preservation devices to market.
Facet Solutions has developed the Anatomic Facet Replacement
System (AFRS™), the first anatomic facet arthroplasty device
designed to provide lumbar spinal stenosis and facet degeneration
patients with a motion preserving alternative to fusion. Currently,
the company is involved in an FDA approved Investigational Device
Exemption (IDE) clinical study in the United States for the Anatomic
Facet Replacement System (AFRS™).
“Our new facility, combined with our world class team,
will allow us to continue our aggressive efforts to provide spine
motion preservation alternatives to patients,” stated Alan
Chervitz, President and CEO of Facet Solutions, Inc. “This
move marks another significant milestone in the evolution of
Facet Solutions, and we are confident that the AFRS™ will
provide benefit to patients who suffer from lower back and leg
pain.”
The company is pleased to remain located in Logan, Utah nestled
in the beautiful Cache Valley. “We greatly benefit from
the local well-educated and hard-working labor force; as well
as the synergy from the other medical device companies that have
flourished in the area,” said Chervitz.
The Facet Solutions AFRS™ implants are anatomically designed
and utilize conventional pedicle screw fixation. The implants
are placed with precision instrumentation that creates reliable
and reproducible results. The benefit of anatomic design and
precision instrumentation makes the AFRS™ the ultimate
in motion preservation solutions; allowing surgeons to provide
patients with pain relief while restoring natural motion and
stability at the effected lumbar level.
Facet Solutions invites patients, clinicians, medical facilities,
and other interested parties to contact Facet Solutions for specific
information about the U.S. IDE Clinical Trial for the Anatomic
Facet Replacement System (AFRS™).
*Note: AFRS™ is an investigational device in the United
States. It is limited by United States (U.S.) Federal Law for
investigational use only.
