Centinel has provided pioneering solutions for spine fusion devices since its founding in 2008. Two medical device companies, Raymedica and Surgicraft, merged to form Centinel Spine. The company focuses on anterior spinal procedures where the surgeon accesses the front of the spine through the abdomen. Dr. Lewis has years of experience using Centinel Spine products since the founding of the company in 2008. Dr. Lewis is trained and certified to use all the products in the Centinel Spine portfolio.
Centinel Spine offers the largest selection of choices for anterior lumbar surgery to address spinal disease. The wide spectrum of products presents solutions for all stages of spinal degeneration. Learn how one of these devices helped Tiger Woods make a career comeback.
In 2017, surgeons implanted Centinel Spine’s STALIF M-TI device into Tiger Woods’ lower back. The renowned American golfer had previously experienced back and leg pain and underwent an L5/S1 lumbar vertebrae fusion to obtain pain relief. The L5/S1 or lumbosacral disc separates the lower back spine from the sacrum, the triangular bone that sits between your hips. This disc bears the weight and force imposed by movement.
Was the surgery a success? In 2019, Tiger Woods won his fifth 2019 Masters Tournament championship!
Following the surgery, Tiger Woods teamed up with Centinel Spine to educate the public on how spinal devices can help return normal back functioning with minimally invasive procedures.
