tezo® is a group of implant systems for thoracic to lumbosacral interbody fusion (L2 to S1) with 3 cage types: tezo-T, tezo-P, tezo-A for posterior and anterior approaches (TLIF, PLIF, ALIF). All of them are manufactured in Titanium and their shape is anatomical with optimal tooth patterns and their inner surface porous structure design to improve bone contact.
Features:
Unique implant design
- Inner wall designed with porous roughened surface structure to allow for improved boney adherence and osseointegration
- Titanium alloy design for stability and boney adherence
- Implants will accommodate all surgical approaches (PLIF, TLIF, ALIF, lateral)
- Optimal tooth design for stability and to minimize implant migration
- Large graft windows for improved fusion response
Unique footprint options
- Large TLIF cage at 34 x 16mm, 5° angulation
- Unique PLIF cage at 29mm, 12° angulation (L4, L5, S1)
- Multiple connection points on ALIF cage (0°, 30°, 45°, 90°)
Streamlined instrument set
- One set of instruments accommodates PLIF or TLIF approaches
- Full set of disc preparation instruments available with PLIF and TLIF set
About TLIF
A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is performed to remove a portion of a disc that is the source of back or leg pain. Bone graft is used to fuse the spinal vertebrae after the disc is removed. TLIF provides fusion of the front and back of the lumbar spine. The front portion of the spine, called the anterior column, is stabilized by the interbody spacer and bone graft. The back portion, or posterior column, is locked in place with pedicle screws, rods and additional bone graft, alongside the backs of the vertebra.
ermany in 1912 by Heinrich C. Ulrich and has remained a private, family-owned company to this day. For over 100 years, our enterprise has been focused on the development of ground-breaking medical technologies in many different sectors of the life sciences industry. Globally, ulrich products are currently sold in over 80 countries in the following areas of specialty: Spinal Implant Systems, Imaging Diagnostics, Surgical Instruments and Hospital Devices.In order to better address the needs of our American customers, the company established a direct subsidiary in the United States in 2006 named ulrich medical USA. Based in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, ulrich medical USA is currently responsible for the following three US business units: Spinal Implant Systems, Surgical Instruments and Hospital Devices. http://www.ulrichmedicalusa.com
