NuVasive’s PEEK Implant Cleared by FDA

The FDA granted 510(k) clearance to NuVasive’s COHERE porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant, used in surgical spine procedures.

The patented technology uses a three-dimensional design with PEEK’s radiolucent properties to promote bone growth and fusion in spinal surgery.

The implant provides improved clarity in x-rays and imaging done after a patient’s operation, allowing for easier evaluation of a patient’s fusion.
