The PROW FUSION™ for Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) procedures is the first clinical application of NLT SPINE’s non-linear technology platform to be introduced to the U.S.
The PROW FUSION™ interbody fusion implant is composed of a segmented non-linear structure and is delivered in a straight configuration (linear) through a protective conduit that is inserted through a small incision.
Implant Insertion and Bone Graft Packing- PROW FUSION™
When reaching the intervertebral space, the implant deflects a circular form with a footprint that is larger than for the TLIF implants in the market today. It also provides for a larger bone graft volume within the implant, and the bone graft delivery method ensures good bone graft-to-endplate contact.
The PROW FUSION™ is the first product being introduced as part of NLT SPINE’s core non-linear technology platform. This platform will offer a wide range of products with clinical applications that address various spine pathologies.
The PROW FUSION™ has been granted 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CE mark in Europe.
About Expandable Cages
Expandable interbody cages allow surgeons to go through a small corridor and change the geometry of the cage to correspond to what the patient’s spine requires. These implants may help protect a patient’s nerve roots and other structures in the area near the cage or along the corridor through which they are implanted. Sometimes can be implanted with a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
