CTL Amedica Corp Increases International Footprint: Receives Two Product Registration Certifications from Guatemala Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance

The Guatemala Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance has certified CTL Amedica Corporation’s registration for two product lines: the VALEO™ II TL Silicon Nitride Interbody Fusion Devices, and the RAPHAEL™ Pedicle Fixation Platform. This certification will enable CTL Amedica to market these products in Guatemala. This announcement marks CTL Amedica’s first product registration certification in Central America, and the company says there is more to come.

“We’re grateful to the Guatemala Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance for the opportunity to make this important technology available in Guatemala. At CTL Amedica, we design, develop and manufacture innovative medical devices that are efficient and effective for surgeons, all while keeping patients at the forefront of our minds.

The VALEO™ II TL, Guatemala certified registration product number PMQ-16124, is a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion or TLIF device.

It consists of a wide range of polyaxial screws; dual lead and cortical threading; various rods, connectors and hooks; and efficient locking set screws, together providing rigid fixation in posterior lumbar fusions.

VALEO™ II TL and RAPHEL™ are projected to commercialize in Guatemala immediately.
