Unique Features and Benefits
- Fixation to Bone by Acid-Etched Titanium Surface
Dual Acid-Etched Titanium surface provides a strong press fit and boney ingrowth. Binding to bone with mechanical friction and a biochemical bond.. - Large Open Area for Bone Graft
Windows allow for significant bone graft packing and outstanding radiographic visualization. - Easy, Straightforward Surgical Technique
Smooth leading nose and edges allow for easy insertion. Ten different sizes to accommodate patient’s individual anatomy.
Surgical Technique
Perform a transforaminal approach to the lumbar spine.
The annulus is identified and a rectangular portion of annulus is incised and removed. Perform a complete discectomy and expose bleeding punctuate bone of the superior endplate of the interior vertebra and the inferior endplate of the superior vertebra.
Using the implant trials, establish the correct height and footprint of the implant to be used. The implant chosen is recommended to be the same height as the last trial used.
Fill the implant with bone graft material.
Assemble the implant to the implant inserter.
Place the implant loaded with bone graft into the disc space. If necessary adjust the position of the implant using the impaction instrument.
In order to stabilize the construct, supplemental fixation such as a plate or screw-rod based system must be applied.
