| Description |
Trinity Orthopedics is focused on the development and commercialization of minimally invasive procedures and products for fusion of the lumbar spine. Trinity was established in 2004 by Jim Marino, MD, founder and primary inventor of NuVasive (NASDAQ:NUVA)
Since inception the company has developed a product pipeline of novel devices and procedures designed to enable the surgeon to perform a superior fusion of the lumbosacral spine. Trinity�s technologic approach promises to significantly reduce the incidence of common complications resulting from intraoperative nerve damage and reoperations necessitated by the degeneration of discs adjacent to the fused levels. Procedure time and cost will also be favorably impacted.
Trinity recently introduced its first product system to the US market and plans to submit a second product system to FDA mid-2010. The company has 20 US patents issued or pending as well as numerous foreign filings. |

| Products / Services |
The ReStorTM Monoplanar-Polyaxial Pedicle Screw System for posterior fixation of the lumbar spine is in early commercialization. The ITLIF Intraosseous Transpedicular Lumbar Interbody Fusion System is in prototype evaluation and is targeted for introduction in 2013.
|
|
| Technology / Differentiation |
| Trinity's technology portfolio includes a novel, monoplanar-polyaxial tivanium pedicle screw providing long term stability for maintaining the anatomic curve of the lumbar spine and mitigating adjacent segment degeneration. The company's interbody fusion system utilizes a shape memory metal cage inserted through 6mm portals in the pedicle, expanding to 15mm in the disc space, thereby avoiding nerve damage and scarring, a common complication with minimally invasive procedures. |
|
| Market / Customers |
The $6.5B global spine market is expected to continue double digit growth over the next ten years. Lumbar fusion is the major product category, with 2008 sales of $2.4B in the US and $4B globally. Spine fusion is performed by both orthopedic and neuro surgeons.
|
|
| Status |
| Trinity is in the early stages of building its commercial infrastructure to support recent product launches. The company is seeking $5-10M to fund growth and complete development of its second major product system. |
