Pioneer Offers New Spinal Fixation System To Full Market

Marquette-based Pioneer Surgical Technology Friday released to the full market its Streamline TL Spinal Fixation System. Streamline TL (Thoracolumbar) is designed to provide stability during spinal fusion procedures and is approved as a pedicle screw system from T1-S2.

After receiving FDA clearance last Aug. 11, Streamline TL rapidly moved from the clinical evaluation phase into full market availability.  The system offers a broad range of implants and instruments, providing physicians the ability to tailor treatment to a specific patient for a more efficient implant experience.  The Streamline TL system features a friction fit head that provides greater control during implantation, a robust reduction capability and a consistent locking mechanism.

"Streamline TL increases efficiency during the procedure by making instruments fast and easy-to-use," said Dr. Robert Watkins, IV, and orthopedic surgeon from Marina Del Rey, Calif. 

The company says Streamline TL promises to be a flagship degenerative spine product for Pioneer Surgical that is positioned for tremendous growth potential in 2011. 

 "Streamline TL is one of the most significant product introductions to Pioneer Surgical's portfolio in recent  history," said Jay Jones, vice president of research and development in the Pioneer Surgical Spine Division. 

Pioneer, founded in 1992, has moer than 130 United States and foreign patents for its all-inclusive portfolio of orthopedic, spine and biologic systems.  Our Orthopedic, Spine, and Biologic Divisions boast a comprehensive portfolio of products and state-of-the-art, cost-effective products for surgical procedures.  Pioneer employs more than 260 people worldwide.
