 Application to FDA for Valeo C+CSC with Lumen - EconoTimes)
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 06, 2017 -- Amedica Corporation (Nasdaq:AMDA), an innovative biomaterial company that develops and manufactures silicon nitride as a platform for biomedical applications, announced that the company made a 510(k) submission to the U.S Food and Drug Administration for its Valeo C+CSC with Lumen spinal implant.
The Valeo C+CSC with Lumen is a modified CSC (cancellous structured ceramic) that is similar to Amedica’s commercially available Valeo C and Valeo C+ CSC (cleared in Europe only) cervical implants. This device increases implant surface area and plays an active role in the spinal fusion process while maintaining the other benefits silicon nitride brings to patients and physicians.
“The Valeo C+CSC with Lumen submission is a key step in introducing our proprietary porous silicon nitride technology into the US market. We look forward to working with the FDA on this important company milestone,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, Amedica CEO
