CARLSBAD, Calif., May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SeaSpine Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SPNE), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, today announced the full commercial launch of OsteoTorrent and OsteoTorrent C, both of which are new Accell DBM Putties packaged and sterilized in a dry state and designed to further improve osteoinductive potential and shelf-life, while allowing surgeons to reconstitute with saline, blood or bone marrow aspirate. The OsteoTorrent product families build on SeaSpine’s Evo3®/OsteoSurge® 300 DBMs. The Company now offers both its best-of-class traditional DBM putties and DBM fibers packaged in a dry state.  

“I am proud to announce the launch of a new family of DBM Putty products,” stated Dr. Frank Vizesi, SeaSpine’s Chief Scientific Officer. “OsteoTorrent and OsteoTorrent C were internally developed, leveraging knowledge gained during development of OsteoStrand® Plus of the importance of driving moisture out of a DBM to increase its bone forming potential. We recognized an opportunity to improve our DBM putty products and were able to rapidly implement a new process through our in-house manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.”

Dr. Gerard Girasole, a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon who serves as the chief of Spine Orthopaedics and medical co-director of the new Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute at St. Vincent’s Medical Center Hartford Health, performed the first surgeries with OsteoTorrent earlier this month. “OsteoTorrent provides the same outstanding handling as Evo3: it packs into any gaps and ensures the graft does not migrate, with the additional benefits of a dry DBM.”

“This launch is a major milestone that allows SeaSpine to upgrade our largest product family as a company, and further strengthens our position as the #2 DBM supplier in the U.S.,” said Tyler Lipschultz, Senior Vice President, Orthobiologics. “Importantly, it further demonstrates our R&D team’s scientific discipline to isolate, test, and optimize individual elements to deliver better, more cost-effective DBMs that compete favorably with many of the more expensive bone grafting alternatives. Ultimately, we are executing on our strategy to deliver scalable and sustainable growth through clinical value.”
