RISE® IntraLIF® is an innovative percutaneous expandable lumbar interbody spacer that achieves traditional fusion goals through an 8.5mm inner diameter cannula. By leveraging extraforaminal access and visualization through the IntraLIF® procedure, the RISE® implant expands in situ to distract and optimize fit.
Benefits:
- Minimal Anatomical Disruption: The IntraLIF® approach preserves the facet joint and avoids disruption of paraspinal muscles.
- Protected Corridor: Instruments are passed through a small cannula creating a protected corridor past the nerve roots.
- Optimal Disc Access: The procedure is performed from a more lateral approach than a TLIF and allows increased access to the entire disc space.
- Improved Implant Placement: The insertion trajectory enables better implant placement across the midline of the vertebral body.
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.
