NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), a leading medical device company focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, recently announced the acquisition of Vertera Spine, a privately-held medical device company developing and commercializing highly innovative interbody implants for spinal fusion using patented porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) technology. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
The acquisition of Vertera Spine reflects NuVasive’s continued commitment to pursue strategic opportunities as it builds out its advanced materials science portfolio to complement the Company’s position as the innovation leader in spine. As a result of this acquisition, NuVasive is now the only medical device company to offer porous interbody technology across both PEEK and titanium materials, thereby addressing the spectrum of surgeons’ needs and preferences for interbody implants. Vertera Spine’s technology provides a unique three-dimensional porous PEEK architecture to help elicit and encourage bone ingrowth based on pre-clinical studies, a key factor in improved patient outcomes in spinal fusion procedures, using a proprietary processing method that retains strength and durability.
“With the addition of porous PEEK technology, NuVasive takes the next step in building out its advanced materials science technology focused on delivering the highest level of scientifically driven properties for best spinal fusion rates, including porosity, visualization, surface and structure. This in turn helps to create more predictable, improved outcomes for patients undergoing spine surgery,” said Gregory T. Lucier, chairman and chief executive officer of NuVasive. “Our go-to-market plans include adding Vertera Spine’s FDA-cleared products to NuVasive’s commercial offerings, as well as applying the porous PEEK technology to our innovation roadmap as we further build out our pipeline of highly differentiated products to increase our market penetration.”
