The activL Artificial Disc for one-level lumbar use is a weight-bearing modular implant consisting of two endplates and one polyethylene inlay and is intended as an alternative to fusion. It’s designed to allow controlled motion at the surgery level.
Benefits:
- Intelligent Motion Technology
The first lumbar artificial disc with a mobile ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core that supports both controlled translational and rotational movement similar to the movement of the healthy lumbar spine. It can translate in the sagittal plane (anterior-posterior) up to 1.5 or 2.0mm, (based on device size) but does not translate laterally (four degrees of freedom). - Enhanced Longer-term Implant Stability Through Bone In-growth
The bone-contacting surfaces of the endplates are coated with Plasmapore (Titanium) and a microscopic Calcium Phosphate over-coating, which provides an attractive surface due to a combination of pore size, porosity and roughness. - Widest Range of Footprints and Heights
Range includes an 8.5 mm design, which is the lowest height construct available on the market.
