It was approved for registration in Italy and South Africa successively in 2015.

Launched in 2015 in China, Takin^® Spinal Posterior Fixation System is used to treat the thoracic and Lumbar Spine degenerative diseases, traumas, correction surgeries and tumors, especially with excellent performance in the treatment of the complex diseases of scoliosis and spinal tumor. The system's clinical usefulness and reliability in the challenging spinal surgeries have been confirmed and demonstrated in multiple cases of challenging surgeries.
