Dr. Zeshan Hyder Presents on the Surgical Benefits of Structural Encoding at NASS 2017
Earlier this month, renowned spine surgeon, Zeshan Hyder, DO, became one of the first surgeons to perform an implant surgery utilizing medical devices from Nvision Biomedical Technologies with Structural Encoding®. On Wednesday, Dr. Hyder will present on his experience and benefits of using the ground-breaking technology at the 2017 NASS (North American Spine Society) Conference in Orlando, Fla.
Dr. Hyder’s presentation — In Vivo Unique Device Identification and Traceability Through Structural Encoding of Intervertebral Cages — is a part of the Innovative Technology Presentation series at NASS. Structural Encoding is the industry’s most innovative solution for medical device identification with permanent direct part marking. Its immediate benefit is improved accuracy of information to the surgeon, which leads to improved care for the patient says Dr. Hyder.
“As surgeons, we are always looking for innovative technologies to simplify and improve the quality of patient care, and Structural Encoding does both. With this technology, the entire history of the device and the procedure are embedded within the device and marked permanently. A simple X-ray reveals everything the surgeon and patient ever need to know about the procedure.”
Structural Encoding is a patented technology platform developed by Watershed Idea Foundry in San Antonio, Texas. Manufacturers can license the technology for use in their medical devices to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulation around permanent marking of the device itself, called Unique Device Identification (UDI). Nvision, a medical device and biologics manufacturer also based in San Antonio, is the first company to create devices using the Structural Encoding technology.
