Pioneer(R) Surgical Technology's NuBac(R) Nucleus Replacement Device Wins FDA Approval for IDE Pivotal Study

the affected spine segment. Nucleus Replacement procedures are commonly less invasive, more tissue preserving, and less bridge-burning than TDR surgery. Reducing the risk of having to perform revision surgery in the future would benefit a much broader population than TDR including patients, surgeons, hospitals, and payers.

Pioneer's signature, articulating P3(TM) Technology- Pioneer PEEK-on-PEEK- is the heart of the NuBac design. The company's other P3 motion preservation products are the NuNec(TM) artificial cervical disc and the BacJac(TM) interspinous decompression system. All three products are currently available in Europe under CE mark and provide patients and surgeons with the most technologically advanced designs in the industry.

Earlier this year, Pioneer announced significant findings on the effect of accelerated aging on the wear of PEEK (Poly-ether-ether-ketone). The study, conducted in collaboration with RUSH University in Chicago, determined that wear properties of PEEK-on-PEEK are not susceptible to the effects of accelerated aging. The study bolsters support for the long term durability of the company's P3 designs.
