Medtronic's Supply Of Multi-Axial Screws In United States Not Affected By Injunction
The U.S. District Court in Boston issued the injunction following a jury verdict in an on-going patent dispute over the VERTEX and VERTEX MAX multi-axial screws.
"We respectfully disagree with the judge's decision in this matter and will appeal," said Pete Wehrly, senior vice president and president of the Spinal and Biologics business unit at Medtronic. "With the improved VERTEX SELECT products now available, U.S. surgeons will not be impacted by supply issues of this important medical device system."
The court's decision has no effect on Medtronic's CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ screw sets.
