icotec is the first and only spine implant company to receive FDA clearance for treatment of de novo spinal infections such as discitis, osteomyelitis, pyogenic infection of the intervertebral disc, and other spondylopathies. In addition to the 510(k)-clearance, the FDA has also granted a Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) across the entire icotec spine portfolio in acknowledgement our innovative BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK technology and the benefits it may provide spine infection patients in post-operative imaging and monitoring. Furthermore, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved BlackArmor® for New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP), which is awarded when innovative medical technologies are determined to potentially improve the diagnosis or treatment of Medicare beneficiaries. With this designation, facilities may receive an additional reimbursement of up to $28,000 from CMS for Medicare Fee-for-Service patients being treated for spine infections.

Info
icotec, a Swiss company, is the world leader of non-metallic spinal implants optimized for cancer treatment of the spine. The implants are made of BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK material. BlackArmor® breaks barriers in radiotherapy: it enables artifact-free CT/MRI images for accurate delineation of critical structures and accelerated dose planning. During radiotherapy, Carbon PEEK is radiolucent, enables homogenous doses and avoids shielding and scattering. During the follow-up possible recitives can be detected much quicker due BlackArmors radiolucency in MRT imaging. Radiation therapy during tumor treatment is no longer limited by metallic implants.

icotec is excited to announce that we have received full FDA clearance across our entire portfolio of BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK implants as the only on-label spine stabilization treatment for patients with spinal infections such as discitis, osteomyelitis, pyogenic infection of the intervertebral disc, and other spondylopathies. “Over 15,000 patients receive spinal stabilizations due to an infection in the spine in the USA every year,” says Chris Eigenmann, CEO icotec Medical US, “being able to help these patients with an implant that allows for improved post-operative monitoring and visualization is a great opportunity and privilege.” In addition to the FDA 510(k)-clearance, the FDA has opted to grant a Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) across the icotec spine portfolio in recognition of the potential this technology holds to affect patients inflicted with spinal infections. Furthermore, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) designation, which will allow for up to $28,000 in additional reimbursement for Fee-for-Service Medicare patients beings treated for spinal infections.

At icotec Medical, we’re proud to see how our BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK implants are setting new standards in precision and accuracy for spine SBRT. A recent study by the Ohio State University team highlighted how our technology enhances real-time motion tracking during treatment: ✅ Less than 1mm intrafraction motion detection to keep radiation precisely on target. ✅ Increased confidence in sparing critical structures like the spinal cord from unintended dose exposure. With radiolucent properties for enhanced imaging and integrated fiducials for Intrafraction Motion Tracking (IMR), BlackArmor® empowers the most advanced SBRT protocols—ensuring accuracy and safety for patients. We’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of precision medicine! #SBRT #PrecisionMedicine #Radiolucency #Innovation #icotec #BlackArmor Joshua Palmer
Precision in Motion: Advancing SBRT with VADER BlackArmor® In spine SBRT, even 1mm of intrafraction motion can impact treatment accuracy, potentially shifting the dose toward critical structures like the spinal cord. icotec's BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK implants are setting new standards in SBRT planning and delivery. Beyond their radiolucency for enhanced imaging and accurate dose calculations, the integrated fiducials empower Intrafraction Motion Tracking (IMR) for real-time monitoring during treatment. A recent study by the Ohio State University (OSU) team, detailed in their paper “Novel Intrafraction Motion Tracking During Postoperative Spine Stereotactic Irradiation for a Patient with Carbon Fiber Fixation Hardware,” showcased these results: Real-time motion detection of less than 1mm, ensuring that radiation remains precisely targeted. Increased confidence in sparing surrounding critical structures, including the spinal cord, from unintended dose exposure. A powerful demonstration of how fiducials embedded in BlackArmor® technology seamlessly integrate into the most advanced treatment protocols. #SBRT #PrecisionMedicine #Radiolucency #Innovation #icotec #BlackArmor Dr. Joshua Palmer
