Interbody Innovations

Interbody Innovations was a medical technology company specializing in the development of advanced spinal fusion implants. The company is best known for its InterPlate technology, a unique design that integrated an interbody spacer with a fixation plate into a single construct to enhance spinal stability and promote bone fusion. This innovation was intended to reduce the complexity of spinal procedures, minimize the profile of implanted hardware, and improve patient outcomes in degenerative disc disease treatments. Founded by renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Robert S. Bray Jr., the company successfully commercialized its products before being acquired by Synthes in 2007. Today, the technology remains a foundational element in the evolution of zero-profile and integrated spinal fixation devices within the DePuy Synthes division of Johnson & Johnson.
