  • Additional Information
    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on Spine-Tech Inc, a designer and manufacturer of spinal implants. Spine-Tech's major product, the BAK fusion cage, is a cylindrical piece of titanium placed in between the vertebrae, allowing bone to grow around and through it. The company hopes fusion cages will replace the traditional rod-and-screw method for helping degenerative disk disease. The total potential market for the fusion cage is an estimated $225 million, one-third of the company's market capitalization. There are already signs of a price war in these cages.
