Growing, growing, moved! Spinal Elements is announcing the relocation of its corporate headquarters in Carlsbad, California. The move stems from the company’s continued and projected growth and has expanded the corporate office space from approximately 8, 500 square feet to over 40, 000 square feet.

Jason Blain, President and co-founder of Spinal Elements, indicated in the May 2, 2013 news release, “Our investment in these state-of-the-art facilities will significantly enhance our development, training, and operational capabilities. The execution and commercialization of our innovative product pipeline will benefit greatly from the new facilities that were custom-built to meet our needs over the coming years.”

Todd Andres, CEO and co-founder of Spinal Elements, stated, “In order to meet the strong market demand for our products, we found it necessary to relocate to accommodate our employees and expansion plans. We hope to bring many more jobs to Carlsbad in the future.”

The new facility has a greatly expanded training center, an expanded surgical lab, and a new machine shop. Spinal Elements has seen 25% growth annually in recent years, and has a robust product pipeline that continues to drive innovation.

Asked what sort of new training and machining they can do now, Andres told OTW, “The new machining facilities will enable improved turn around time for special instrument requests and allow us to better meet the needs of our surgeon customers. Our expanded training and surgical facilities will accommodate enhanced training on our innovative products to assure that our representatives are product masters and able deliver superb OR support. We will also further use the surgical lab to train surgeons interested in learning our upcoming advanced MIS solutions.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?

Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.

We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
