Hey, it's TJ Halverson with Orthopedics This Week.
2
I'm talking to Travis Greenhall, the CEO of SurgenTech, to talk about a new technology they have in the OTW Technology Awards this year.
3
Travis, thanks for joining us again.
4
Why don't you tell us more about DuraShield?
5
TJ, thanks for having me.
6
And I appreciate you guys and what you're doing over there.
7
DuraShield is focused on preventing dural tears.
8
We all know it's a major risk, a major complication during a T-lift procedure.
9
Every surgeon has had it.
10
It's always a nightmare to deal with.
11
Right now, there's ways to fix a Dural tear, but not prevent it.
12
So that's what DuraShield is focused on.
13
It employs a device that allows you to tag the annulus with a silicone ribbon.
14
That silicone ribbon acts as a retractor and a guard, kind of like a bumper.
15
As opposed to have your first assist or your PA hold back with a Nurgert retractor, the Dura, the entire time, this allows you to go down and tag the annulus,
16
hold the Dura back.
17
And then you can also do the same on the contralateral side with the peripheral nerve root.
18
So it allows you to create a larger corridor to pass your instruments, provide adequate carpentry and pass larger implants, which is every surgeon's goal, right?
19
So we focused on that.
20
It's been years in the making.
21
The device has a depth stop.
22
It's fully disposable kit and it's safe, right?
23
That's our goal is to try to make things safe.
24
Every surgeon's had a dural tear, had to deal with the consequences of a dural tear.
25
Sometimes these things are longstanding as well too.
26
So if we could prevent a large percentage of those from happening, that would be phenomenal.
27
It's a great product
28
and hopefully you get it to market soon what do you
29
think the timeline is for getting it to market it's actually really close
30
so we have all the ip is filed we've received patents
31

32

33
