…cage is designed to challenge the limits of additive manufacturing, company says. The honeycomb endplate design reduces the risk of subsidence while allowing fusion. The honeycomb structure allows for bony ingrowth and demonstrates the reduced use of titanium minimizing risks of X-ray artefacts, while offering a very large graft space. This is another innovation from the team, who invented the first line of additively manufactured interbody devices. “This is an important step for NGMedical and allows us to start our active market presence in the USA. We are proud having received the FDA clearance based on the innovative design introduced…

Robots Replacing 20 million Manufacturing Jobs Oxford Economics, global forecasting, and quantitative analysis firm have released a new report that predicts robotic machines will displace about 20 million manufacturing jobs across the world over the next decade. Robots are increasingly capable of performing tasks that were previously relied on human hands. This robotic revolution is propelled by technological advances in automation, engineering, energy storage, AI and machine learning. Already, the number of robots in use worldwide multiplied three-fold over the past two decades, to 2.25 million. Trends suggest the global stock of robots will multiply even faster in the next…
